Global Problem: Illiteracy


We are lucky to recieve education on a private school since kindergarten, but not everyone has that privilege. Families with economic problems are less likely to attend to school and fulfill necessary education. Some kids, teenagers, adults don't attend to school either because they habe to work to support their families or they just are not aware of illiteracy and how this affects a person totally for the rest of their lifes. We might see computer as one of our day to day machines that helps us out on out daily activities, but there are people who don't even know how to use it, because they have never had access to one. This problem shouldn't be happening, I think that even if people are working to keep up with the economy they should still be able to attend to school. Public schools are the best way to solve this problem, but still I believe people aren't able to buy school materials like pencils, pens, notebooks, books, etc. I suggest this should be provided by the government. The government should be able to take illiteracy as a serious problem, because our generation is the future. I also believe there is no certain age for education, even adults who didn't recieve a full education should be able to have access to it. It's never too late to learn something new, maybe you could be someone who will mark a difference in society.
