New lower level (Course in Initial General Education for Adults) – at NRS 1
Splitting of reading and writing (and numeracy and mathematics) into shorter modules (Units) of either reading or writing in one domain only.
![Page 3: The New CGEA main changes. New lower level (Course in Initial General Education for Adults) – at NRS 1 Splitting of reading and writing (and numeracy](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070410/56649f075503460f94c1ca1a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
‘Create texts for ……….. Purposes’ is one short unit ( 15 – 20 hours)
‘Engage with texts for …………. Purposes’ is another short unit ( 15 – 20 hours)
Numeracy and Mathematics units (45 – 60 hours)

Numeracy & maths - criteria
New initial level Smaller units Fewer assessment
(performance) criteria
Choice of units Numerical information
crucial
![Page 15: The New CGEA main changes. New lower level (Course in Initial General Education for Adults) – at NRS 1 Splitting of reading and writing (and numeracy](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070410/56649f075503460f94c1ca1a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Numeracy & maths - benefits
Chance to update/improve/simplify
Has given more flexibility and choice
More hours/time to achieve the same/similar outcomes
![Page 16: The New CGEA main changes. New lower level (Course in Initial General Education for Adults) – at NRS 1 Splitting of reading and writing (and numeracy](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070410/56649f075503460f94c1ca1a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Numeracy & maths - minuses
Less coverage and breadth of maths
Construct of different numeracies lost
Structure of assessment criteria lost (maths knowledge/skills; language; interpretation)
![Page 17: The New CGEA main changes. New lower level (Course in Initial General Education for Adults) – at NRS 1 Splitting of reading and writing (and numeracy](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070410/56649f075503460f94c1ca1a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Numeracy & maths – relation to the old/current CGEA
Time, money & directions = old Numeracy for Personal organisation
Measurement & design = old Numeracy for Practical Purposes
Interpret numerical and statistical information = old Numeracy for Interpreting Society
Engage with mathematical techniques = old Numeracy for Knowledge
