Charity urges targeted action on England’s numeracy divide
National Numeracy calls for sustained support in communities facing the greatest adult numeracy challenges. Its local index highlights needs in northern England and the Midlands and argues for stronger community partnerships.
Issued by National Numeracy, England ·
The charity’s Number Confidence Week announcement draws on a model developed with Experian. It says more than 10.6 million adults in northern England live in authorities in the index’s greatest-need half. This describes residents of higher-need areas, not a direct count of people tested as having poor numeracy. National Numeracy calls for sustained investment, flexibility for local leaders and partnerships involving employers, education providers and community groups. The goal is to improve confidence with everyday maths and access to opportunities.
