One in three Australian adults suffer with low literacy skills | Sky News AustraliaMore than one in three Australian adults have literacy skills so low they are vulnerable to unemployment and social exclusion, according to new figures. \n\nThe problem stems from students falling through the cracks at school, with one in seven failing to reach baseline literacy standards by age 15. \n\nTerri Martin from Dymocks Children’s Charities says adults often succumb to literacy problems if they do not have access to good quality books when they are young. \n\nShe says ‘you don’t actually have to go far from inner city areas to find children with literacy challenges, so there’s a widespread problem’. \n\nBy providing brand new books to children and schools across the country, she says Dymocks Kids Charities is trying to reduce those statistics. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Liberal party fail. Time to kick them out Appalling. Can we now concentrate on teaching literacy and maths instead of pointless ”gender issues” How many are standing out the front of classrooms? Back in the early 90s a professor at Sydney University described his cohort of trainee teachers as functionally illiterate. Where are they now?
