| Résumé : | There are an estimated 9 million working aged adults in England (more than a quarter of adults aged 16 - 65) with low literacy or numeracy skills or both . This reflect s England’s overall performance in the Survey of Adult Skills - around average for literacy, but well below average for numeracy relative to other OECD countries in the Survey (OECD, 2013) . These 9 million people struggle with basic quantitative reasoning or have difficulty with simple written information . They might, for example, struggle to estimate how much petrol is left in the petrol tank from a sight of the gauge, or not be able to fully understand instructions on a bottle of aspirin. Here they are referred to as ‘low - skilled’. Weak basic skills reduce productivity and employability, damage citizenship, and are therefore profoundly implicated in challenges of equity and social exclusion. This report explores the factors behind these findings , and proposes policy solutions. (source: review) |
