TES : Priority outcome Improve literacy, language, and numeracy and skills outcomes from levels one to three study. Govt expectation for ITPs: Support students with low literacy, language & numeracy skills to improve these skills and progress to higher levels of learning. Funding Guidelines From 2011 all NQF Level 1-3 provision that includes literacy and numeracy will use the Literacy and Numeracy for Adults Assessment tool for those learners whose skills fall within the Learning Progressions. Evidence of learners improving their literacy and numeracy skills as measured by the Literacy and Numeracy for Adults Assessment Tool may be considered as part of measuring performance.
