HOW TO DEAL WITH ILLITERACY

Illiteracy means inability to read and write. Illiteracy is compared to darkness because it
darkens individuals vision, outlook, behavior and in a word, all aspects of life. It is the root
cause of ignorance, backwardness, poverty and many more. Illiteracy is a worldwide problem
nowadays. It is everywhere, in both children and in adults. Learning to read is critical to a childs
success both in school and in life. Literacy is one of the best predictors of a childs future
success. But a child without access to books wont have the chance to become an engaged and
capable reader. This is the reality for children who are growing up in poverty; books are scarce.
Therefore, as a young generation, we should give our contribution to deal with illiteracy.
First of all, we should know and identify the factor that cause illiteracy. What are they?
Poverty is the main cause of illiteracy and vice versa. Similarly, under development causes
illiteracy as much the same way illiteracy is the cause of underdevelopment. There are other
causes too. Overpopulation very influence toward illiteracy. Because Impoverished families have
this notion that more the number of members in the family, more will be the numbers to earn
income. Some feel that more children are needed to look after them in their old age. Also hunger
can because of the death of their children and hence the need for more children. Illiteracy is thus
another cause of overpopulation. And the last causes is financial and resource constraints are
responsible for illiteracy too. Secondly, we should study hard & improve our ability. So, we can
help them and share through what we have. Not only study hard, we should have motivate
ourself to help people, especially for children and adult who have a problem with illiteracy. We
also should have a willingness to serve with love. So, what we teach could be more meaningful.
In addition, to improve our ability and share to them, education is the key thats really important
in this case. Which gives more access to education for children and adult itself. Give the
scholarship and free flirtation fee. The last but not least, Increase the facilities and the quality of
the teacher who will be teaching the illiterate. In conclusion, If we want to stand in honor and
dignity among the nations of the world and if we want to develop our living standard and living
condition, we must remove illiteracy from the country.
