Countries with high literacy levels have certain advantages. They can rely on the printed word more readily. Educators will need to understand just how much people are willing to read and how much they can comprehend. Schooling Apart from literacy levels, educators may need to account for levels of schooling. There is obviously an overlap here.
Many people learn to read at school.
And those who do not learn to read often have been unable to attend or stay in school for very long. Levels or years of schooling can also reveal to educators other things about likely levels of literacy. Schooling affects ways in which people are likely to understand other forms of education. It determines, for good or ill, how people value learning and which methods they are most likely to associate with educational programmes. At the same time, voter education has can be conducted independently removed from the school room and therefore free itslef from the particular patterns of discipline, knowledge construction and dissemination, and competition for information and success associated with formal education.
