I am a member of the Language Council of the Northern Province of South Africa. Our province is the one with the greatest number of illiterates - also the poorest province.
Most people live in villages far from towns and modern conveniences.
I have been instructed by the Language Council to study the present system of literacy education in our province and to make recommendations on ways of improving and accelerating it. I would value any inputs which could be of help. I need information on the training of educators, classroom material, funding, etc. If there is anybody who have experience in rural areas- maybe other parts of Africa or South America, I would value their help and information. I have also written two books for use in adult literacy education.
