“The gap between male and female [in terms of literacy] has grown smaller over the years. There are currently some 25 percent more women who are illiterate. In the age group of 45 years and above, however, about 60 percent more women are illiterate than men.”
“The reason there are more women than men is simply because there are more illiterate women than men. But it's also because men have to work to support their families and have less time to follow classes.”
