Yes, but the figure for illiteracy has remained constant since it was assessed in the 1970s. That is a reflection on our education system and all of us. If there is spare money, there should be a particular project for a specific time to finally deal with illiteracy and not accept it. It is not an inevitable difficulty and should be dealt with. Many other countries have dealt with it.
