The Scottish Government has published its  ‘refreshed’ guidance on adult literacies. The guidance sets out four outcomes, against which the Scottish Government will be able to measure its progress at three-yearly intervals. These outcomes aspire to create a situation where:

• Scotland’s adults have access to literacies learning opportunities in which they can achieve their goals and progress
• Adult literacies learners receive high-quality learning and teaching so they can achieve their goals
• Scotland has a coherent and effective adult literacies infrastructure that enables and supports continuous enhancement of provision

There is evidence of the impacts and the value of literacies learning for individuals and society.
