Study paints bleak picture of basic literacy levels

2014-11-16

Sipho Masondo, City Press

Johannesburg - By the time many South African pupils reach Grade 4, they are functionally illiterate - mainly because they do not read at all during Grades 1, 2 and 3, City Press reports.

What is perhaps more shocking is that most of their teachers also aren’t reading.
