@abcnews @SBS @theprojecttv No adult literacy and numeracy assessment as Australia withdraws from OECD PIAAC involvement. #literacydenial #headinthesand

[Australian Council for Adult Literacy @ACAL_AUS]

News out of Canberra is that Australia is not going to be involved in the next round of PIAAC, is a survey of adult skills including literacy and numeracy. This is disappointing news and ACAL hopes it will be reconsidered! @DanTehanWannon @tanya_plibersek #auspol #literacydenial
