Illiteracy -The solution Week 138

Greetings friends, today I identified with the theme of the solution, focused on illiteracy. I have been teaching for 16 years, dedicated to teaching and strengthening learning through the use of technology.

This journey has allowed me to see in two different times how education in my country or in my place of work had improved in terms of knowledge of children, but after the pandemic by covid-19, we live another latent reality that worries me greatly because we are in front of children who at this point do not even know how to read and are already in advanced grades.

Approximately three months ago a diagnosis was made to see what were the competencies that the students had acquired in this period of distance learning that lasted approximately 2 years. This diagnosis showed a lack of competencies in reading and writing and mathematical operations. I consider that this is an indicator that leads us to believe that our children are being functionally illiterate as a result of distance education, which means that our children do not have the ability to analyze or solve problems. Distance education was assumed by many parents who do not have the necessary knowledge to teach their children. This resulted in this diagnosis that we have present in the institutions.

In my particular case, the children in my work center return to distance education and only see classes one day, since the infrastructure is very damaged and the teachers, due to low salaries, are not giving classes. This situation puts us in a delicate situation again and our children are the most affected.

Now a possible solution to functional illiteracy, at least locally and placing in a real situation, would be to create community reading circles where children can attend twice a week to support and make children can acquire the skills to be able to discern any content and analyze real situations.

It would be a collaborative work with the communities, a contribution for the benefit of the children who are the future of a country.

I bid you farewell and I will see you in a future publication.

You are very right my friend, the ideal would be to end illiteracy and at the same time to base the knowledge in the schools for the optimal formation of the children in the schools.

Yes it would be ideal if illiteracy did not exist, unfortunately there is still , and if we can support it would be great to be part of that group that bets to give knowledge to those who do not have it. Thanks for visiting my blog

it is important to generate a society of the future that is capable of being able to discern any situation and not be manipulated by lack of knowledge or ignorance, that is why it is important to start from childhood.

Education has a lot to do with gaining knowledge and helping individual become the best in what they do. Illiteracy is a disease and a killer and I would also want to find a solution to help children if I am capable.

I share with you the illiteracy annihilates society, that is why the importance of education, since a being without studies is an incomplete being, this is a thought of the liberator of my country, Simon Bolivar. Greetings and thank you for your comment. Greetings.

Undoubtedly this is a notable problem today, there is a lot of backwardness in education, first the pandemic and now unemployment, those who suffer most are our children who are so far behind, and the government does not care about improving education at all. We need a lot of reinforcement at home.

Yes, my friend, it is a very unfortunate situation and as you say, our children are the most affected. Let's wait to see if the government pronounces itself in favor of the teachers and they can return to the classrooms.
