Quantitative Literacy: Strength in numbers
Illiteracy is a lack of skills perceived as being necessary to fulfill certain objectives by individuals, community members, consumers and employees, while quantitative literacy is the ability to read, write and to comprehend and use numbers adequately to satisfy the requirements the learner or his place of employment sets for him as being important for his life. Quantitative literacy is also for enabling a person to continue to use reading, writing, and calculation for their own and their place of employment's development.
Illiteracy should be viewed as under-education, from those who cannot read and calculate at all at the one end, to those who have less than high school education at the other end. People at different points along this scale have different needs, but learners entering a training centre for basic learning have a baseline assessment which will reveal at what level they are.
Being literate means to be able to fulfill one's own goals, and this comes after one has taken the first step in enrolling oneself at a reputable Training Centre, where quantitative literacy will be taught to enble you to equip yourself with multiple tools you can use to improve your life.
Adult learners view quantitative literacy as increasing their independence and personal power; it means a level of reading, writing and numeracy at which they can communicate with the competence they define as necessary to deal with situations and opportunities within their environment. Gaining better literacy skills is a case of honing the skills learners might already have, but going on to learn new skills which further increases confidence, familiarity and understanding.
Quantitative literacy extends far beyond the acquisition of specified skills; learners just can't hope to participate in any meaningful way in any process without the ability to express themselves, to comprehend and respond critically to issues that are presented.
Triple e provides an enabling environment that can nurture it's learners to go full out for what they want to achieve.
