10 Most Literate Countries Of Africa. by Johndot: 4:31pm On Jul 14, 2020 |
Literacy can be said to be the center piece of a nation’s progress, it’s social development and economic growth. The ability to read and write provides more educational and employment opportunities to the population, allowing people to increase their household incomes and bring their family out of poor conditions. Below are listed the top literate countries in Africa. 1. Seychelles: is the first country in Africa with a high level of literacy based on both sexes. It follows strictly the guidelines of the UNESCO. Some of these guidelines includes; to establish free primary education, to improve the quality of childhood education, to improve adult literacy and to provide gender equality in all institutions of learning. 2. Equatorial Guinea: research has shown that the literacy rate in Equatorial Guinea is about 95% for both males and females above 15 years of age. The country has made a significant progress toward the education goals, thereby achieving a preschool enrollment of over 70% in 2015. This continued commitment to improved education is expected to be reflected in future literacy rates. 3. South Africa: the country has recorded over 95% literacy rate mostly in the adults as the younger persons have somehow experienced a decline in education. 4. Libya: the country has recorded 91% literacy rate. The country works to eliminate illiteracy through several prevention methods, like making school mandatory for youth, and several reactive methods, like opening adult literacy centers in each of the districts enhance learning and improve the literacy rate of the adults. 5. Namibia: the government of Namibia has increased its educational expenditures and as of 2013, allocates 29% of the federal budget to boast public education. The country generally has about 91% literacy rate. 6. Mauritius: it has also experienced an improvement in its literacy rates, which currently is at 91%. 7. Cape Verde: Currently, with an 88% literacy rate, it also ranks too among the most literate countries in Africa. This increase in literacy is due to the educational system that was put into place after this country gained its independence in 1975. 8. Botswana: it also ranks top among the most literate countries in Africa with an 88% of the population over 15 years of age who are able to read and write. This reflects the commitment to education made by the government of Botswana and the success of its National Literacy Programme. This program was established in 1977 and has made significant progress in reaching the adult illiterate population. 9. Swaziland: it has an increased literacy rate of 87% of it’s population who are able to read and write. This has been one of the major achievements of the education system of the country since it’s Independence. 10. Zimbabwe: it also ranks among the top literate African countries with a 87% literacy rate. In conclusion Education in Africa is known to have always been on the verge of decline as most African countries boast of a very low literacy rate among adults. It is then of little wonder why education is not a topmost criterion when choosing a national leader in the African continent. In countries where there are educated presidents in juxtaposition to their performances is an irony, which then makes the educational credentials of African presidents in comparison to good leadership, not a criterion. Although, Africa has the most educated leaders in the world, and the continent continues to experience plodding progress. Many critics have also attributed this to the high level of corruption evident within African governments. 1 Like |

Nova1988:90% of our problem in Nigeria is caused by the north. I'm sure even you know this. The type of things southerners do like yahoo, prostitution and drug trafficking are also done by developed countries like u.s, south Africa, Brazil But check the countries that do what north does. Terrorism. Countries like Afghanistan, Somalia, Iraq 2 Likes |
