Recently the attack on illiteracy had been stepped up. A world plan has been drawn up by a committee of UNESCO experts in Paris, as part of the United Nations Development Decade(十年计划)，and an international conference of the subject has also been held. UNESCO stresses that functional(官能的)literacy is the aim. People must learn the basic skills of responsible citizenship; the ability to read notices, newspapers, timetables, letters, price-lists to deep simple records and accounts, to sort out the significance of the information gathered—and to fill in forms.
The major areas of illiteracy are in Asia, Africa, and Central and South America. In Africa there are at least one hundred million illiterates, which is eighty to eighty-five percent of the total population. In Europe the figure is about twenty-four million; most of them are in Southern Europe, with Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Yugoslavia heading the list(the United Kingdom has about seven hundred thousand).
It is urgent(迫切的)for each country in the would, whether poor or rich, to wipe out illiteracy.
