People who struggling with literacy are more likely to be poor, lack of education is not allowing them to avail an opportunity to participate fully in society's activities. Literacy is so fundamental; it is the essential foundation of education. Literacy is the first step towards freedom, towards liberation from social and economic constraints. It is the prerequisite for development, both individual and society. Literacy helps to spread awareness among the people of their rights. People with good literacy skills enjoy a higher standard of living, have better opportunities of finding jobs, and are able to continue to learn new skills that will help them in the workplace to get promotions.
