Illiteracy Problems In Fiji

In Fiji, not to many people many people know how to read and write, this is a problem because without those simple techniques, you will be left behind in the future. One reason is, adult illiteracy rates from the age of 15 and older, were shown that most people cannot read or write, with understanding a simple statement in everyday life.If People cannot read or write, this will bring down their chance of learning modern things. This is one way illiteracy is a problem in Fiji.


Females in Fiji, are the most likely to not know how to read and write, this is just an example, but it reflects on everyone in Fijians on the path to the future. Another reason is, that the Fijian women are usually the ones to not understand a lot. In the years 2000-2004, a poll was made to find the precent of Fijians who cannot read or write while understanding what they are doing. The result was that 9% of women can not read or write. This result isnt to bad, but this is a problem becuase we don't want the women to be left behind without understanding how to read or write. Thats just teribble! These are the reason that illiteracy is a problem in Fiji.


All Fijians are capable of talking, but they dont want to learn the basic reading and writing skills. The finale reason is, that Fijians are able to learn, yet they dint want to, this will reflect them and their family. If you couldnt read or write in a basic manner, then people would probably think things like "...poor thing, it cant even write a simple sentence..." or even " ...what an idiot! He/She cant even read a picture book correctly!" This would be really embarising. Your family would also be thought of like that. It is becuase you couoldnt read or write. These are the reasons why illiteracy is such a big problem in Fiji.
