What is Functionally Illiterate and innumerate

A big piece in the TES today and I will say first of all that I'm surprised it's just 20%.
I'm not sure what Functionally means though as in my experience, even students with a grade C in Maths are occasionally innumerate and have the qualification because they have been well schools in passing that exam.

Makes interesting, if unsurprising reading.
