The literacy problem is a result of a serious social issue in our society. Many of our children are being birth by mothers who have not completed high school and fathers who are uneducated and not involved their children's. Also, we have many older men who are engaged in statutory rape and are not being punished or their criminal act. Many of these men are fathering children an not educating them.
We need to teach sex education because the fact is the kids are having sex. We need to encourage mothers to stay in school and complete their education. We need to offer something for folks to get a high school diploma and encourage them to continue training at COB or BTVI. We need to encourage fathers to be apart of their baby's lives.Father also need to get furthe their education.
One time ago according to the Bahamas Journal literacy was 98% in the Bahamas. Hope we can get back there.
