A UNESCO sponsored study suggests that by paying marginal attention to adults living without basic literacy skills, governments and donor countries are actually curtailing progress towards Education for All (EFA).
The fourth edition of the EFA Global Monitoring Report ‘Literacy for life’ released on Wednesday says, that governments and donor countries are curtailing progress towards EFA by according only marginal attention to the 771 million adults living without basic literacy skills.
“Literacy is the right and is foundation for further learning that must be tackled through quality schooling,” said Nicholas Burnett, the report’s director. According to EFA Global Monitoring Report, three-quarters of the world’s adult illiterates live in 12 countries. South and West Asia has the lowest adult literacy rate of these regions (58.6 per cent), followed by sub-Saharan Africa (59.7 per cent) and the Arab states (62.7 per cent). Countries with the lowest adult literacy rates in the world are Burkina Faso (12.8 per cent), Niger (14.4 per cent) and Mali (19 per cent).
The illiteracy rate among women is higher than men. Women account for 64 per cent of the adults worldwide, who cannot read or write. This figure is virtually unchanged since 1990 when it was 63 per cent.
