Abstract	This booklet describes existing and planned government initiatives to address the long-standing issue of low achievement in basic literacy and numeracy skills in England. The booklet begins with a brief explanation of the economic and social importance of basic functional literacy and numeracy skills. Part 1 is a discussion of English government policy initiatives to improve literacy and numeracy throughout England. Among the specific topics discussed are the following: children from preschool age to age 16 (identifying and meeting all pupils' needs, improving the quality of teaching, challenging current standards and promoting school improvement); the transition from school to work; help for adults; and information technology. Examined in part 2 are possible directions for future government initiatives targeted toward children and parents, young people, and adults. Part 2 also addresses issues that must be considered when developing policies for the longer term: improving the effectiveness of existing national/local provision for basic skills, identifying best practices and improvements needed in practices and the overall structure of basic skills provision, and determining how to disseminate research and evaluation results more effectively. Selected definitions are appended. Also included is a set of 24 fact sheets on basic skills- and literacy-related topics. (MN)
