What is illiti?

Illiteracy is the inability to read and write. It is considered a major global issue, with an estimated 770 million people worldwide who are illiterate, according to UNESCO. Illiteracy is often associated with poverty, as those who cannot read or write face significant barriers in accessing education and employment opportunities. It also has broader social implications, as illiteracy can impact health outcomes, civic participation, and social justice. Efforts to address illiteracy include improving access to education and literacy programs, particularly for marginalized groups.
