The evaluation in 2003 and that in 2013 used different methods. What we're seeing is that we still have a big challenges. With respect to literacy, we are under the OECD average. I think we are also under the OECD average for numeracy. With respect to problem-solving in technology-rich environments, we are at the average of the OECD, if not a little above.
The challenge we have is that, in our francophone community, literacy and basic skills are important. You are right that the provinces are working a lot and investing a lot of money. They are delivering literacy and basic skills training to Canadians. What a pan-Canadian coalition such as RESDAC does to our different provincial and territorial coalitions, however, is bring together all of these people. We share best practices, and the programs' differences are shared as well. So we can adjust and adapt, we get access to innovation and research, and because we are delivering in the provinces, when we have a pan-Canadian group such as RESDAC we can piggyback on the research they are doing, their innovations, the information they have. We can share with other provinces and learn from other provinces.
The impact is that we have much better programs and are more efficient and effective in delivering the best programs for our people. That's what RESDAC does as a pan-Canadian community in which we have roughly 30 partnerships with different communities across Canada, including the CLQ in Quebec, Pluri-elles in Manitoba, and l'Association franco-yukonnaise. We get together and share our practices. We're getting much better in terms of delivering a good literacy and basic skills program to our students.
