The National Center for Education Statistics seeks Office of Management and Budget approval to survey adults (16-65 years old) for the 2011/12 administration of the Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) main data collection. PIAAC is coordinated by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (http://www.oecd.org/) and sponsored by the U.S. Departments of Education and Labor in the United States. PIAAC is the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's (OECD's) new international household study of adults' literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving in technology-rich environments. It will also survey respondents about their education and employment experience and about the skills they use at work. PIAAC builds on previous international literacy assessments: the 2002 Adult Literacy and Lifeskills Survey and the 1994Â98 International Adult Literacy Survey. PIAAC is expected to be on a 10-year cycle. In 2011, 26 countries, including 23 OECD-member countries, plan to participate. The U.S. PIAAC main study will occur between September 2011 and March 2012.
