The Non-literates
oil on box canvas [ready to hang] 228mm x 305mm Unframed
According to the UNESCO, in the world today there are about
1 billion non-literate adults.
This 1 billion is approximately 26 percent of the world's adult population.
Women make up two-thirds of all non-literates.
98 percent of all non-literates live in developing countries.
In the least developed countries, the overall illiteracy rate is 49 percent.
52 percent of all non-literates live in India and China.
Africa as a continent has a literacy rate of less than 60 percent.
In Sub-Saharan Africa since 1980, primary school enrollment has declined,
going from 58 percent to 50 percent.
In all developing countries, the percentage of children aged 6-11 not
attending school is 15 percent. In the least developed countries, it
is 45 percent.
I might mention that there is a lot of politics and vested interests
involved in keeping people non-literate.I have one more planned on the
same subject of illiteracy.
