VIII Read the passage carefully and answer the questions below.

The traditional definition of literacy is considered to be the ability toread and write, or the ability to use language to read, write, listen, and

speak In modern contexts, It refers to reading and writing at a level

adequate for communication, or at level that lets one understand and

communicate ideas in a literate society, so as to take part in that

society The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural

Organization (UNESCO) has drafted the following definition: " Literacy is the

ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate and compute,

using printed and written materials associated with varying contexts

Literacy involves a continuum of learning to enable an individual to achieve

his or her goals, to develop his or her knowledge and potential, and to

participate fully in the wider society."

Policy makers also argue that literacy increases job opportunities andaccess to higher education In Kerala, India, for example, female and child

mortality rates declined dramatically in the 1960s, when the girls who were

educated in the educational reforms after 1948 began to raise

families Recent researchers, however, argue that correlations such as the

one listed above may have more to do with the effects of schooling rather

than literacy in general Regardless, the focuses of educational systems

worldwide include a basic concept around communication through text and

print, which is the foundation of most definitions of literacy

Asian, Arab and Sub-Sahara African countries are regions with thelowest literacy rates at about 10% to 12% East Asia and Latin America

have illiteracy rates in the 10 to 15% region while developed countries have

illiteracy rates of a few percent Within ethnically homogeneous regions,

literacy rates can vary widely from region to region This often coincides with

the region's wealth or urbanization, though many factors play a role

Trang 26

2 According to policy makers what is the advantage of Literacy?

3 Which areas have the lowest literacy rates?

4 What is the illiteracy rate in developed countries?
