Literacy Rates & Oppresion
This is something that has interested me for some time. Not just the literacy rate of a nation, but the differential between men and women.
The CIA has their well regarded World Factbook on line, and offers these statistics. For example, take lovely, scenic Afghanistan. men have a literacy rate of 51% and women have a literacy rate of 21%. That offers a lot of insight. |
Literacy is always something that oppressive groups have used against other groups.
I recall that in the South back pre-civil war, it was illegal for blacks to be literate. |

It's always interesting to look at literacy rates and where differences lie, etc. |

One of the biggest problem is who is going to actualy conduct the trial. Many of the current government officials were somehow connected with Khmer Rouge. The government want to have Cambodian sitting as the judges and juries, but one of have to wonder just how fair and balanced the trial would be. Especially with the possibility of embarasement toward the current ruling elite, with even the king implicated. |
