When New China was founded, the illiteracy rate in China was as high as 80%, that is, eight out of ten people could not read a few words or even write their own names. In remote rural areas, few people can read. After nearly 50 years' efforts, the illiteracy rate dropped to 6.72% in 2000, which is a great achievement.
Nowadays, many uncles and aunts over 50 have attended literacy classes at night schools and have a deep understanding of the concept of illiteracy. When quarreling with others occasionally, "you can't read, you can't say for sure" and "it's terrible to have no education" will pop up from time to time!
2 1 century, illiteracy is rare. At least hundreds of millions of smartphone users are not only illiterate, but also have good mobile phone reading ability.
But what I want to say is that since the 2 1 century, our illiteracy has greatly increased, because they lack a kind of ability!
Students often encounter unfinished homework, and most of them will tell you "I won't"! Sometimes let students preview and try to write some questions, and the answer is still "I can't"! Nowadays, many students keep going to cram schools, and their grades are passable, but as long as they don't go to cram schools, they are rotten persimmons, and the exams will be soft!
This kind of students lack an ability-the ability to learn to learn, and the learning ability is not enough! The biggest purpose of learning is to learn to learn, master learning skills and take the initiative to learn.
Edgar, a famous UNESCO education expert? In the book "Learn to Live —— Today and Tomorrow in Education", Fuer pointed out: "Illiteracy in 2 1 century is no longer illiteracy, but people who can't learn."
2 1 century, people with outdated knowledge, people with single skills and people who are not good at learning will be ruthlessly eliminated by society. Nowadays, the speed of knowledge updating is greatly accelerated. If people want to adapt to the ever-changing objective world, they must change reading and learning from simple knowledge to a way of life, establish a lifelong learning attitude, and achieve "never too old to learn."
