- Abstract
-
Recent empirical data show that 7.5 million adults in Germany do not reach a minimum level of reading and writing skills and, therefore, are classified as functional illiterates. However, the social and educational background of this part of the population differs considerably from wide-spread perceptions of the target group as it is represented in courses for illiterates in adult education. While the latter normally showed heavy learning problems at school, the wider group normally passed school more or less successfully. Their handicap in reading and writing does imply some restrictions in work and everyday life, but less so than case studies of “typical” illiterates would suggest. Results call for reconsidering established perceptions and programs.
