The Director for Adult and Continuing Education (DACE) Irreneous Kinara said the first Kenya National Literacy Survey (KNALS) survey was conducted in 2006.
It showed that 7.8 million (38.5%) of the adult population was illiterate, while Kenyans aged between 15 and 19 years had 69.1 per cent literacy rate.
Read: 7.8 million Kenyans lack minimum literacy levels
The report was conducted between June and August 2006 by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KEBS) and the Department of Adult Education, UNESCO, in Nairobi.
Latest statistics from the World Bank show that Kenya’s adult literacy levels stood at 79 per cent in 2014 while the average global adult literacy level stood at 86 per cent as at 2016.
Zimbabwe had the highest levels in Africa at 89 per cent during the same year.
In 2015, adult literacy rate for Kenya was 78 %. Adult literacy rate of Kenya fell gradually from 82.2 % in 2000 to 78 % in 2015.
The description is composed by Yodatai, our digital data assistant. Have a question?Ask Yodatai ›Adult (15+) literacy rate (%). Total is the percentage of the population age 15 and above who can, with understanding, read and write a short, simple statement on their everyday life. Generally, ‘literacy’ also encompasses ‘numeracy’, the ability to make simple arithmetic calculations. This indicator is calculated by dividing the number of literates aged 15 years and over by the corresponding age group population and multiplying the result by 100.
Ahmed,Many thanks for your perspective but if indeed the service provider gave a warning that the person owed them some money and that you were assuming the role of a guarantor then look no further. Terms and conditions apply. Its just business. The elephant in the room is how do the service providers deal with Customers that abuse credit facilities, i suppose this system mimics the guarantor system used by bankers. When all is said and done, they cornered the party they were looking for.RegardsRegardsRegardsOn Mon, 19 Nov 2018 09:58 Ahmed Mohamed Maawy via kictanet <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke wrote:Hello Barrack,You have a point.
