High Illiteracy Rate In England And Wales

The report staies that recent surveys show that about 17 per cent of the population is semi-illiterate and that the proportion of people of low intelligence, which is larger than is commonly imagined, shows a definite tendency to increase. Because words are read or used it must not be assumed that they are understood, adds the report.
