This book was released on 2014-09-08 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In light of an OECD survey of 24 countries ranking England and Northern Ireland 22nd for literacy and 21st for numeracy, a more joined-up Government approach is needed to tackle the alarmingly low levels of adult literacy and numeracy. While the Government pledges free training and tuition for any adult who wishes to study English and maths up to and including GCSE level, adults with the most limited skills were not aware of the support available. There is little rigorous or uniform assessment in place for when adults claim unemployment benefit-despite the fact that this is an ideal opportunity to help adults to gain essential skills needed to get a job. The Department for Work and Pensions, the Department for Business, Innovation, and Skills, and Jobcentre Plus and skills providers should work closely to ensure there is consistent and thorough assessment of skills at the earliest possible stage of unemployment benefit claims. The Committee urges a more flexible approach to adult learning, both in the types of programme on offer and in the types of funding given by the Government. There is also concern about reductions in funding to adult learning schemes and the Government is advised to reverse its decision to cut funding to Unionlearn, a scheme which has achieved outstanding results at a fraction of the cost of full-time formal education. The Government should also move away from its preoccupation with GCSEs as the 'gold standard' of measurement for adult skills, as less linear and traditional learning schemes are often more effective

Download or read book EBOOK: Adult Literacy, Numeracy and Language: Policy, Practice and Research written by Lyn Tett and published by McGraw-Hill Education (UK). This book was released on 2006-06-16 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the social practice of literacy, numeracy and language and its implications for teaching and learning adult basic skills. Leading international experts argue that literacy, numeracy and language are more than just a set of skills or techniques, but are shaped by the social and cultural context within which they are taking place; the meanings they have for users; and the purposes they serve. This shifts the focus from a narrow, functional and externally imposed definition of literacy, numeracy and language learning, to more open and numerous definitions that focus on what people do with their knowledge, understanding and skills in a range of contexts. Adult Literacy, Numeracy and Language shows how the social practice approach to learning and teaching can be used to develop more inclusive views of adult literacy, numeracy and language. Bringing together the views of researchers, policy makers and practitioners, it helps readers to develop an understanding of contemporary policy developments and encourages them to examine their own practice as adult basic education teachers, in order to respond more effectively to the needs of their students. This book is a valuable resource for practitioners, researchers and students on courses in adult and continuing education (particularly basic skills), postgraduate students, and researchers in the field of post-compulsory education.

Download or read book The Wiley Handbook of Adult Literacy written by Dolores Perin and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-08-09 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the widespread phenomenon of poor literacy skills in adults across the globe This handbook presents a wide range of research on adults who have low literacy skills. It looks at the cognitive, affective, and motivational factors underlying adult literacy; adult literacy in different countries; and the educational approaches being taken to help improve adults’ literacy skills. It includes not only adults enrolled in adult literacy programs, but postsecondary students with low literacy skills, some of whom have reading disabilities. The first section of The Wiley Handbook of Adult Literacy covers issues such as phonological abilities in adults who have not yet learned to read; gender differences in the reading motivation of adults with low literacy skills; literacy skills, academic self-efficacy, and participation in prison education; and more. Chapters on adult literacy, social change and sociocultural factors in South Asia and in Ghana; literacy, numeracy, and self-rated health among U.S. adults; adult literacy programs in Southeastern Europe and Turkey, and a review of family and workplace literacy programs are among the topics featured in the second section. The last part examines how to teach reading and writing to adults with low skills; adults’ transition from secondary to postsecondary education; implications for policy, research, and practice in the adult education field; educational technologies that support reading comprehension; and more. Looks at the cognitive processing challenges associated with low literacy in adults Features contributions from a global team of experts in the field Offers writing strategy instruction for low-skilled postsecondary students The Wiley Handbook of Adult Literacy is an excellent book for academic researchers, teacher educators, professional developers, program designers, and graduate students. It’s also beneficial to curriculum developers, adult basic education and developmental education instructors, and program administrators, as well as clinicians and counselors who provide services to adults with reading disabilities.

Download or read book HC 188 - The Extractive Industries - HC 188 written by Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Business, Innovation and Skills Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2014 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extractive companies contribute directly to the UK in a number of ways. Both domestic companies and global companies listed in London contribute through taxes, dividends, licenses and the employment of British workers. The size of the UK's domestic extractive sector is well below its historical peak. However, the Government has expressed support for the enlargement of the UK's domestic extractive and the United Kingdom Trade and Investment is doing good work to promote the United Kingdom as a base for extractive companies to do business with the rest of the world. However, the extractive sector is not without controversy, particularly when one considers reports of poor practice around the world. The UK is at risk of being associated with some of the negative practices often reported alongside the sector. To counter this, more needs to be done to improve to social and environmental performance, transparency and reputations of the companies it hosts and both industry educational institutions and Government must promote and excite the next generation of extractive workers. This should be done by encouraging more British students to study STEM-related subjects, engage with industry to encourage and promote mining as a rewarding and exciting career and encourage large mining companies to support the UK as a base for mining through funding and resources.

Download or read book Skills for Life written by Great Britain. National Audit Office and published by Stationery Office Books (TSO). This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-six million people of working age have levels of literacy and numeracy below those expected of school leavers, and many of them experience practical everyday problems. They cannot read and understand signs, notices or labels, and cannot check they have received the correct change when shopping. Moreover, many work in low-skilled jobs, are unemployed, or on benefits, or are offenders in prison or supervised in the community. DfES launched the Skills for Life Strategy in March 2001, which includes programmes for English for Speakers for Other Languages (ESOL). These programmes are beginnning to make an impact, despite social and psychological barriers to participation, but further improvement is necessary, for example, people who are 'difficult to reach' could be contacted through family literacy schemes (linked with schools) or through schemes aimed at jobseekers. People over 20, and refugees and asylum seekers, should be increasingly targeted. Greater liaison with employers, unions and public sector agencies (such as Learning and Skills Agencies) should encourage greater participation in shorter (and more flexible) courses, and more research into the reasons for high drop-out rates .
Download or read book Turning Points written by Alisa Belzer and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Milestones for adult basic education include: It was first federally funded in 1964. The National Literacy Act passed in 1991. The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998 was enacted. The field then remained relatively static until 2014 when: a new version of the GED® test was launched, new content standards were developed, new data on adult cognitive skills were released, and the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), with its laser focus on employment and training, was enacted. This volume reviews where the field is in relation to these turning points and discusses where it could go. Taking up critical discussions of the many recent and influential changes as well as topics of enduring interest, this volume will be valuable to practitioners, researchers, and policy makers. This is the 155th volume of the Jossey Bass series New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education. Noted for its depth of coverage, it explores issues of common interest to instructors, administrators, counselors, and policymakers in a broad range of education settings, such as colleges and universities, extension programs, businesses, libraries, and museums.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The strategy to improve basic literacy and numeracy skills has helped over 5.7 million adults achieve a qualification or other specified learning aim at a cost of £5 billion. The Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills and the Learning and Skills Council exceeded targets for the number of adults reaching basic literacy and numeracy standards (750,000 by 2004 and 1.5 million by 2007). The Department is also on course to meet the 2010 target of improving the basic skills of 2.25 million adults. Less progress has been made in strengthening numeracy skills compared with literacy skills. Numeracy courses are less popular than literacy courses with fewer people participating in them and achieving qualifications. Many people with literacy and numeracy needs come into contact with different parts of government, such as Jobcentre Plus. The Department could make better use of these contacts to engage people on Skills for Life courses. Participation and achievement levels for people with a literacy or numeracy need vary across the country. Based on the 2003 survey of need, the North East and North West have the best rates of achievement for both literacy and numeracy. In contrast, the East of England and East Midlands have the lowest rates of achievement for literacy and East of England and London, the lowest rates of achievement for numeracy. Between 2001 and 2004, spending on English for Speakers of Other Languages courses tripled to almost £300 million a year. However, demand for these courses has exceeded supply, particularly in London. Although significant progress is being made against targets, until the Department updates its assessment of literacy and numeracy needs, the scale of the challenge regarding adult skill levels will remain unclear.
