10.1 MILLION INDONESIANS ILLITERATE
Denpasar, Bali, Sept 8 (ANTARA) - As many as 10.1 million of 220 million people in Indonesia are still illiterate, and 70 percent of them are female, the National Education Ministry said.
The illiterate people are aged between 15 years to 44 years old, the ministry's Director of Public Education, Ella Yulaelawati, said here Monday.
The ministry has targetted to reduce illiteracy rate in Indonesia by 5 percent or 1.75 million in 2009 focusing on female.
"There are many cases showing that women are being fooled by men, even by their own husbands because they cannot read," she said.
Provinces with the largest illiteracy rate are East Java, Central Java and West Java where more than one million people are still illiterate.
Yulaelawati said teaching methods for illiterate people should be simple and based on the result of an analysis on the opportunity for an area to make a success.
