Abstract

This review examines the application of insights derived from Frederick M.

Employing a qualitative approach, the methodology section outlines the design, participants, instruments, procedure, and ethical considerations of the study. Results demonstrate the implications of Hess's findings for low numeracy and reading skills, emphasizing the foundational role of these skills in academic success and the need for evidence-based strategies to address deficiencies. The discussion underscores the broader implications of Hess's report for learners, teachers, and other stakeholders, emphasizing the importance of collaboration and systemic change to promote educational equity. The conclusion and recommendations advocate for the implementation of targeted interventions informed by Hess's insights to empower students and foster a culture of excellence at Carol-an National High School.
