Adult Learning and Basic Skills: Policy Insights from the Survey of Adult Skills

Addressing the challenge of adult low literacy and numeracy

In 2015 蜂鸟电竞在线入口 launched a study that is exploring key skills challenges emerging from The Survey of Adult Skills ( PIAAC – Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies) and that aims to advance policy reccommendations designed to improve basic skills and their utilisation.

The study involves a sequence of country reviews and all countries (including subnational units where there is sufficient Survey sample size to support the necessary analysis) taking part in The Survey of Adult Skills (PIAAC) can participate in this exercise.

While it is centrally concerned with basic skills and adult learning, the study also addresses the role of the initial education and training system, wider and vocational skills, and workforce development more broadly.

The study identifies groups that are underperforming on basic skills and examines the role of the initial education and training system, adult learning and workplaces in the development of basic skills. Other data sources, both national and international, are employed to support the analysis of individual countries.

Step 1. Initial analysis by the 蜂鸟电竞在线入口 Secretariat, using the Survey of Adult Skills (PIAAC) augmented by other sources to identify a set of strengths and challenges (including those bearing on adults with weak basic skills of literacy and numeracy) in the country skills system.

Step 2. Focusing on the agreed set of strengths and challenges, further data analysis is undertaken by the Secretariat, augmented by a country background report from the country authorities.

Step 3. A mission to the country is undertaken by an 蜂鸟电竞在线入口 team, leading to a report documenting strengths and including policy recommendations supported by analysis to address the identified challenges.
