„As in most countries, a significant minority of young people in Austria leave school without having acquired basic numeracy or literacy. Among 16-24 year-olds, 12 % score at level 1 or below in the OECD Survey of Adults Skills, meaning that they are typically able to deal with only short texts and have difficulties with paraphrasing or low-level inference (OECD average of 14 %). The same share, 12 %, attain no more than level 1 in numeracy, implying that they have at-best a very basic understanding of mathematical processes (19 % in the OECD on average).“
