We have in the past insisted on 5 GCSE/O levels as a minimum level of
education for Library Assistants. We are now under pressure from our
Human Resources department not to insist on a paper qualification.
Do any of you have any knowledge, or better, experience of using simple
tests to ensure that potential members of staff know their alphabet and can
handle very basic arithmetic?
I would be glad to hear of your experiences. Please reply to me and
I will summarise for the list if appropriate.
