I understand that but my point is more about the use of the money, given the many problems with functional illiteracy. It is between 17% and 20% and has never changed despite all the investment. Why are moneys being handed back when there is significant use for them? I am picking one when there are many others. Illiteracy is obvious. If between 17% and 20% of the population is functionally illiterate, why can spare moneys not be used to tackle it?
