Adult learning lessons for modern life

One of the most influential education reports to be published during Labour's 13 years in government was undoubtedly Claus Moser's, A Fresh Start: improving literacy and numeracy. Published in February 1999, it revealed the stark fact that roughly one in five adults – perhaps as many as 7 million people – were functionally illiterate or innumerate.

The report provided a clarion call for a new approach to the teaching of basic skills to adults that for decades had been underfunded and often marginalised. It proposed a new national strategy to tackle what it called a "shocking state of  affairs".

In 2001, Labour launched an ambitious new strategy, Skills for Life, with the aim of improving the basic skill levels of 2.25 million adults by the end of the decade. Over the next seven years, £5bn was invested and thousands of teachers were taken on to teach literacy, numeracy and English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL).

The results have been impressive. By 2008, more than 2.8 million adults had gained a qualification in basic skills, enabling Labour to claim it had reached its target two years early. By that time, the former government had set its sights higher, with the 2006 Leitch review – Prosperity for all in the global economy – setting a new objective for 95% of adults to achieve the basic skills of functional literacy and numeracy by 2020. Achieving such a goal would mean reducing the number of adults struggling with basic literacy and numeracy from the current level, thought to be around 5 million, to fewer than 2 million by the end of the decade.

Despite these successes, the coalition government has ordered a review of literacy and numeracy skills provision to determine a new course for basic skills teaching over the next decade. Feeding into this policymaking process will be the reports of two inquiries led by Niace. The first, on adult numeracy, reported in March. It recommends a seven-point plan for improving adult numeracy that includes a new way of measuring how well adults use maths in everyday life to manage bills, make decisions about credit and estimate time. It also calls for adults with the poorest numeracy skills to be given priority.

"The main reason people do not go to adult education classes is that they tend to be scared because many of them have had negative experiences of maths lessons at school," says Niace programme manager Sue Southwood.
