ILLITERACY
Illiteracy means having no literal or computative knowledge. An illiterate person can neither read, write nor compute. Illiteracy is a barrier to individual, social and national development. Illiteracy makes an individual less productive and less creative. He can't use scientific methods of cultivation to increase food production. He doesn't know the necessity and ways of keeping the family size small. He can't get a better job. He doesn't know how to maintain personal hygiene, take a balanced diet, and take proper health care. None in society pays due respect and honor to an illiterate person. He is often cheated and exploited. Illiteracy is a curse for the nation. So, integrated efforts must be taken to eradicate illiteracy from our society. It is encouraging that the Bangladesh government and many NGOs have undertaken various programs to remove illiteracy. Compulsory primary education, food for education, adult education, mass education, supply of free books at the primary level etc. are all intended to increase the literacy rate of the country. But, co-operation from all spheres of life is needed to achieve success.
