8. How important is literacy for the general population of a country?
Literacy is fundamental for a society, because if the population is not well-educated, it cannot
develop and improve itself. Illiterate people can't make money in today's world. If people can't
read, they won't have access to enough information, and will stay in the dark. In addition, this
could have a serious impact on people in terms of health, as well as in terms of family planning.
People who are not educated usually have many children and they struggle to offer a good life to
the kids.
