A bit of a niche subject, but potentially interesting.

BIS media information for journalists and the press - Press Releases - Armed Forces recruits have career prospects boosted by intensive literacy and numeracy training - BIS

The bit I find most worrying is:

A significant proportion of recruits in the quantitative sample were both initially assessed at Entry Level in literacy and numeracy and reported having A*-C GCSE in English or maths.

A damning sentence on todays level education provided by the state.
