Celebrating Adult Literacy Week
We closed off with an interview with Lin Helme – from Shear Adult Education Centre. We will be talking about Adult Literacy. This week is the Adult Literacy Week and it aims to promote literacy among old people like the Adult Basic Education. According to UNESCO, in the world today there are about 1billion non-literate adults. This 1billion is approximately 26 percent of the world’s adult population.98 percent of all non-literates live in developing countries. In the least developed countries, the overall literacy rate is 49 percent. If you would like more information about the Centre you can contact their offices at (021) 851 1427.
