Literacy education

People who are illiterate or illiterate and cannot use words to communicate ideas or perform necessary activities are often referred to as

In China, illiteracy is a mass work. The Chinese Communist Party and the People's Government have extensively mobilized various forces in society, including industrial and mining enterprises, urban streets, rural grassroots organizations, trade unions, Communist Youth Leagues, militia, women's federations and other mass groups, and teachers and students from full-time schools to participate in literacy work. The methods are: school building equipment and school funding depend on the school running unit and the masses to solve; the learning time is uniformly arranged by the production organization; the principle of solving the teacher's problem is "Teach the people and the people as teachers", and mobilize the literate to teach the illiterate Teaching and guidance work rely on the strength of full-time schools to do; literacy textbooks are compiled by the organization of local education administrative departments; teaching content is closely integrated with the needs of the people's production and life; teaching methods are diverse and eclectic. The teaching organization is adapted to the conditions of the people and the time. There are centralized class teaching, scattered group learning, and "Mr. Xiao" package teaching. All kinds of learning organizations are mostly amateur studies. In rural areas, they usually learn more on farm leisure, less on farming, and on holiday. In view of the fact that cadres insist on having more difficulty in studying part-time, many places have adopted short-term concentrated production and literacy methods, which has achieved good results. In the new situation of implementing a production responsibility system in rural areas, some places have also implemented a responsibility system for literacy, with clear responsibilities for running schools, teaching and learning, and rewards for completing tasks. To ensure the quality of literacy, the provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities have formulated literacy inspection and acceptance systems and methods, and carry out inspection and acceptance on a level-by-level basis for units that have basically been illiterate. Individuals and units who have received experience and meet the requirements of the regulations will be issued with certificates. From 1949 to 1982, a total of 14.35 million illiterates were eliminated across the country.
Although great achievements have been made in China's literacy work, the task is still arduous. While literacy, preventing new illiteracy is very important. In the "Guidelines on Eliminating Illiteracy" issued by the State Council in 1978, it was stated that not only the existing illiteracy among the young, young and middle-aged should be eliminated, but also that primary education should be popularized to prevent the emergence of new illiteracy and adopt various measures. Formal organizations have continued to learn from those who have been illiterate, enabling them to further strengthen and improve. In 1983, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the "Notice on Strengthening and Reforming Rural School Education," requiring rural primary schools to take in children and young people under the age of 15 who have not completed or completed primary school into schools. Let them finish the primary curriculum of elementary school faster, prevent new illiteracy, and finally complete the historical task of eliminating illiteracy.

Into the 1980s, the task of literacy is still very heavy. Statistics show that the number of illiterates in 1982 was 235 million. At that time, the trend of peasants entering the city to work was rising, and "illiteracy" became a major obstacle to entering the city. In 2000, the national illiteracy rate for adults fell to 9.08%, and the illiteracy rate for young adults fell below 4%. China finally took off the hat of the world's number one illiterate power.

In early 2009, the Literacy Office of the Ministry of Education was abolished. ^[1]
