The latest international survey of adult skills: What does PIAAC mean for us in New Zealand?

Abstract

• What can PIAAC tell us – and what can it not tell us? • What kinds of shifts in adults skills in the population might we expect to see since the ALL Survey reported in 2006? • What might PIAAC mean for adult literacy and numeracy educators, learners and the general public? • What are the implications of PIAAC for educators?
