At the same time, one in five people in our country does not have a high school diploma, writes Blic.
The fact that in Serbia 2.68 percent of the population without schooling, 11 percent with incomplete primary education, and 20.76 percent with primary education, while almost 2 percent are illiterate (1.96 ), is also devastating.
The professor of the Belgrade Faculty of Philosophy and andragogue Katarina Popovi says for “Blic” that every year more and more people do not have a primary education, and this is supported by the fact that we have a third of the population that has a maximum of elementary school upie.
“Those statistics improved slightly in the previous census. The total number of completely illiterate people even decreased, but that is not a consolation. The number of people who did not finish primary school is huge, but the number of those who finished primary up to as When you add up the data on the population that has a maximum primary school, it’s somewhere below 34 percent, ”he says.
According to her, andragogues classify people as functionally illiterate who can go to extremes, that is, complete illiteracy.
“This means that in the group there are those who literally cannot write a single sentence, those who can read big headlines or follow a series in Turkish or Spanish, those who know how to cope with everyday life, but do not master the literacy skills , enough to improve the quality of life, because, for example, they cannot read the instructions of the medicine, which I find worrying ”, says Prof. Priests.
According to some research on the occasion of International Literacy Day, Serbia listened to almost 80 percent of illiterates in the 20th century, and that number between the two world wars dropped to 50 percent.
During the socialist regime, this percentage was further reduced, but even that state did not pay attention to the part of the population that dropped out of primary school, which was predominantly Roma and rural population.
In addition, the percentage of children with special needs was hidden and they were not sent to school, so the facts remained, especially those who were not in the families of the intellectuals, without any education.
