I highly consider that illiteracy is a prominent problem in the world today. It is unquestionably a noticed problem, but governments are doing very little to get involved.

A big factor in adult illiteracy is not being taught at a young age, most education services provide education for people at a young age. Very little countries provide education to adults which mean that adult illiteracy is impossible to get rid
