This Scottish Government report provides information about how Scotland has approached literacies learning for adults during the period 2007/2008 in response to the Scottish Government’s adult literacy and numeracy strategy.
“The analysis of the data provides valuable insights into the social, educational and economic circumstances of adults in Scotland who have not yet mastered literacy and numeracy skills to the level demanded by modern life. The report shows the association between poor educational achievement and its impact on all areas of life, including employment, health, community participation and family life.”
