| Description: | One of the first-ever studies of adult literacy and numeracy difficulties in Scotland estimated that 800,000 adults had poor literacy and numeracy skills, with just 15,000 or 2% attending courses to help them improve 2. These findings influenced the Adult Literacy and Numeracy in Scotland strategy, but still left large gaps in our knowledge of the lives of adults with low levels of literacy and numeracy. The research summarised here fills some of those gaps. Commissioned by Learning Connections. |
