It was not until the end of the 1970s that public debate on the problem of functional illiteracy among adults began in the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG). Even afterward, Germans were reluctant to admit that illiteracy was a problem in their country. Literacy education efforts began at the local level, and the first national conference on adult literacy was held in Bremen in 1981. After increasing focus on the relationship between illiteracy and unemployment, German adult educational institutions began to respond to specific educational needs. As a result, literacy instruction is now offered by almost 280 adult educational institutions. The development of literacy education in the FRG can be divided into experimental, consolidation, and transition phases. Since the late 1970s literacy provision has grown rapidly, although significant differences still exist between program offerings in rural and urban areas. A qualitative improvement in the respect accorded to conditions for illiterate individuals has accompanied this growth in literacy instruction. The following program elements may be said to characterize adult literacy programs in the FRG: contact to students, initial advice to students, consideration of the learning situation of illiterate adults, development of specific methods of teaching reading and writing, and provision of sociopedagogical support and counseling. Efforts are underway to expand the areas served by literacy programs, integrate numeracy and other basic skills into literacy programs, and improve existing programs through a research and development effort.

The purpose of the volume is to open up new perspectives in the study of literacy by bringing together current research findings from linguistics, psychology, sociology and anthropology. The book divides into five parts. The first part deals with theoretical questions related to the definition and the modeling of the construct of functional literacy. The second part goes into the notion of literacy development. Both societal and individual aspects of literacy development are taken into account. In the next two parts the actual achievement of literacy in various regions of the world is dealt with. In part 3 the focus is on attaining literacy in developing societies, and in part 4 on attaining literacy in industrialized societies. In the final part the question is raised how functional literacy can be promoted through education. Starting from a cross-cultural perspective the central issue is how standards of functional literacy can be established throughout the world.

Literacy is a human and democratic right and a basic learning need; it is critical in achieving the EFA and the Millennium Development Goals. The crucial question is how can we create literate societies in a world where, in some places, education is only accessible to the rich? This publication reviews the meanings of literacy and related concepts within the context of lifelong learning. It analyses policies and strategies required to improve national literacy rates and develop adult literacy programmes (including youths aged 15 and above).The author demonstrates that a combination of factors has contributed to slowing the progress in meeting national and international literacy commitments. Lessons learned over the past decades show that to achieve universal literacy, there is a need for further investment, greater political will, sustainable institutional approaches, and a more creative and holistic methodology.

Despite an estimated one billion adults who are illiterate in the world, adult literacy programmes in developing countries remain severely underfunded and with limited outcomes. Efforts to improve this situation have tended to focus on institutional and social issues, rather than research into cognitive and memory functions and studies regarding learning techniques. This publication explores cognitive research findings and applies this to the design of adult literacy programmes and acquisition of literacy by unschooled adults in lower-income countries.
