I think you are wrong.

"In 2003, an estimated 75% of the adult population of working age had numeracy skills below the level of a good pass at GCSE and 56% had literacy skills below this level."

You can download the full, sad 35 page PDF. Gosh, I know English lawyers and other academics who can't put 2 and 2 together. I can totally see where this report is coming from.
Thanks for your contribution. I totally forgot about 'their' and 'your'.
