Webinar: The state of adult skills: Key takeaways from the OECD Survey of Adult Skills

In today’s information-rich societies, having advanced literacy, numeracy and problem-solving skills is more important than ever. But how can governments ensure adults have relevant skills?

The OECD’s new Survey of Adult Skills (PIAAC) gives a once-in-a-decade assessment of how well adults can read and understand text, work with numbers and solve complex problems. By providing a comprehensive snapshot of some of a population’s fundamental capabilities, it allows policymakers to identify where people excel and pinpoint gaps that need to be addressed.

In this webinar, we talk through the results, analysis and implications for policymakers and education leaders. Hear the discussion with Andreas Schleicher, Director of Education and Skills, and moderator Duncan Crawford, Senior Editor at the OECD.
