UN Struggles for increasing the Literacy Rate Worldwide

UNO Literacy Goal 2003-2013

The literacy rate is one of the most important development indicators. The OECD calculates the literacy separately for 15-24 year olds, since the results of educational efforts are effective on a country's fast economic growth, and the literacy of young people (mostly the in developing countries a large proportion of the total population). The OECD has set  the goal till 2015, the literacy rate of 15-24 year olds in all countries to increase 15 to 99%. The United Nations has UN Literacy Decade explained for the years 2003-2013.

862 Million Illiterate People Worldwide according to 2003 Report:

The literacy rate in countries with low and average per capita income since 1960, rose from one third to over half. In 2003 were 862 million illiterate people Worldwide. Lack of education is one of the biggest obstacles of social development. Particularly affected are poor and populous countries such as Bangladesh, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Egypt, Mexico,  Nigeria and Pakistan. Literacy is an integral element and necessary condition for development of a country to change its citizen into a great nation.
