Introduction
We live in a world with over 800 million
illiterate adults.
Many millions more are not literate enough
to compete in the workplace or fulfill their roles as citizens. In this
same world lives an elite of the technologically advanced.
The average drop out rates range from 25%
to 45% with the majority of those that do graduate having a reading level
between the 6th and 7th grade. Violence in schools has escalated alarmingly
impacting both children and teachers.
Only 39% of employers surveyed thought
a high school diploma meant graduates have the basics needed with which
to be meaningfully employed. While 78% of community professors said that
75% of their first year students were ill-prepared to be able to do freshman
level work.
