Literacy rates have more to do with poverty than culture. That map would be nearly the same if the metric was poverty. Poverty is the enemy of literacy. You are projecting education opportunity in the West with education opportunity in Africa, which is stupid to do. You think everyone there has the opportunity to become formally educated and therefore high illiteracy rates mean the culture does not value it. All your reasoning is predicated on black inferiority of thinking, of values, of responsibility, of culture, etc. That is how racist think....and since you are a racist, it’s apropos.
AKIP--it is obvious you are doing little or no research
pretty soon, we will have to take all your posts as crap and racist
The following are the most
frequent causes of illiteracy in adults:
- Parents with little schooling;
- Lack of books at home and lack of stimulation as to the importance of reading;
- Doing badly at or dropping out of school—many have not completed high school;
- Difficult living conditions, including poverty;
- Learning disabilities, such as dyslexia, dysorthographia, etc
