  Recently the attack on illiteracy (文盲）has stepped up. A world plan has been drawn up by a committee of UNESCO experts in Paris, as part of the United Nations Development Foundation, and an international conference on the subject has also been held. UNESCO stresses that functional literacy is the aim. People must learn the basic skills of resposnsible citizenship: the ability to read notices, newspapers, timetables, letters, price-lists, to keep simple records and accounts, to sort out the significance of the information gathered, and to fill in the form.
