A SK: Over 30,000 Kosovo people do not know writing and reading

Analphabetism in Kosovo according to data from the Kosovo Statistics Agency is on the decline, but this figure of over 30,000 people is considered disturbing. Knowing the field estimates that this decline can be compared to the population's decline.

Over 30,000 people in Kosovo are considered illiterate according to the latest data from the Kosovo Statistics Agency, released by the population census. Compared to thirteen years ago, the decline in the number of people who can't read and write citizens over 10 is 1.5 percent.

Former Deputy Education Minister Dukagjin Pupovci declares that in relation to European countries Kosovo has high rates of illiteracy.

According to Pupovci, concern for institutions should be the new age that is part of this category.

It's on the decline, but we still don't have it broken up in age groups this year. In 2011, over 60%, about 30,000 have been over 65 years of age, now they have to be seen, but still worrying is the age group of young people who might be in the group of illiterates where 12.6 %s of 10 to 29 years of age and they're the state's sorrow to be dealt with, Pupovci told Rt21.

Kosovo's Statistics Agency presented declining figures, but according to education connoisseur Youth Qehaja, this may also be the cause of population decline.

“The statistics presented by the ASS show a declining figure, but generally worrying. This requires an institutional response and a more detailed report from the AK. The figure is on the decline, but this should be calculated with the total number of population that generally turns out to be relatively similar or has had reduced improvement”, Qehaja said.

Problems with the education system have also witnessed in international testing of 15-year-olds, P The ISA, where Kosovo students are ranked in the last five countries, for reading, mathematics and science.
