Seventeen of the 95 students tested indicated Practical Nursing as their post secondary
program goal. We know that graduates of the Practical Nursing program require Essential
Skills Level 3 Reading Text, Level 3 Document Use and Level 2 Numeracy to function
safely and productively in their occupation. The average IRT scores for the 17 students
were:
- Reading Text: 267 (Level 2 - high)
- Document Use: 240 (Level 2 - medium)
- Numeracy: 277 (Level 3 - low)
These overall scores are encouraging, considering that the 17 students are halfway or
more through their academic upgrading program and may still make learning gains.
