The World in 2040 / Kie Ishikura
I predict the education of 70 % will not be literacy in 2040. There are two reason
why I think this way.
First, more and more a wide range of knowledge and flexible
thinking ability are
important in modern society. In many advanced countries,
people can have literacy.
But, in developing countries such as Afghanistan, Central
Africa, Guinea, and
South Sudan, there are few schools or teachers due to
agriculture area
and poverty area. So, they can not learn literacy or receive an
education due to these factors.
Second, there are many war and conflict in these developing countries, and then
they must run away from the war area, a school is closed,
and school is broken out.
Moreover, children such as forcibly joining in army doesn’t
admit them to receive
a education. Many adults don’t know literacy because they
have lived with a war
and a conflict from childhood.
Therefore, under these situations, it is impossible the
education of 70 % will be
literacy in 2040. And, I wish the education of 70 % would be literacy in 2040.

DeleteThank you for your comment. I think so too.
I almost agree with your idea. Then, how do you think the world’s literacy rate will increase? What do you think is the solution? I want to know your opinion.
ReplyDeleteIt's so sad. I hope all people around the world will be able to receive education.
ReplyDeleteI think learning literacy while they are children is important! I hope education can spread to poverty area.
ReplyDeleteIt may be true. We must work to create an environment in which all people can have equal access to education.

ReplyDeleteI think developed coutries should support developing coutries which have many problems.
Wow, Kie, what a fascinating post. You have clearly reflected on the challenges that prevent literacy in deprived countries at some length. My brother once lived in Zambia in Southern Africa with his family, where he practised as a doctor. I'll ask him about the level of literacy there. :-)
ReplyDeleteI think this is a very important issue. I hope that there will be no more wars and that people will be able to study well.
