Statistics:Literacy Rates

Etc.

The traditional definition of [Pagelink infos="Literacy|literacy"] is considered to be the ability to read and write, or the ability to use language to read, write, listen, and speak. In modern contexts, the word refers to reading and writing at a level adequate for communication, or at a level that lets one understand and communicate ideas in a literate society, so as to take part in that society. Proving both men and women the possibility to become literate is thus an important policy objective in the pursuit of [Pagelink infos="Gender Equality|gender equality"].
