Adult Literacy, Numeracy And Problem Solving Skills In England

The International Survey of Adult Skills in the UK is a survey by the Department for Business Innovation and Skills of literacy, numeracy and problem solving in technology-rich environments. It directly measured adults’ skills and also collected a wealth of contextual data about participants’ backgrounds and their use of these skills in work and their day to day lives. Findings from the survey will be used to inform skills policies, to help decide what is working and what changes may need to be made in the future – in England and in other countries around the world.
