Statistics published by the United Nations have revealed that illiteracy among women in Morocco who are not less than 15 years old is at 64 percent, in Algeria 43 percent and in Tunisia at 39 percent. As for illiteracy among men, it is as follows Morocco 38 percent Algeria 24 percent and Tunisia 19 percent.
All in all, in the Middle East and North Africa, there are 75 million illiterates, and the fast increase in their populations causes a corresponding increase in illiteracy, poverty, ignorance, and backwardness.

Ben ouais, on est dans la merde!
Mais C pas nouveau...
La solution? Y a pas, trop tard...
Some realities do heart my dear, but what's more important are the dreamers who work hard in their life towards a better future for themselves and their countries. Just believe that your life's work will play an important role in a brighter future for Morrocco...
Sometimes I wonder even if these statistics are worth anything. My grand parents couldn;t read a word or write their names but I believe they were much more open-minded, civilized and just than kids from my generation. People with bachelors and masters that behave in such childish and irresponsible manners! So what's the point anyway! I just wished we had true democracies, true leaders and good strategists!
An Anecdote! In 1975, South Korea had half of Tunisia's GDP! Now they are competing against France for the 5th position in the world's economy. I just want to shut my mouth!
pourquoi pas:)
