The Country That Stopped Reading
Keywords:
Tags: Early Warning, Mexico,
The country David Toscana describes is Mexico. Yet Mexico is not alone. This could be India, or some other counry in Latin America or Asia. Mexico takes the penultimate spot of 108 countries in a UNESCO assessment of reading habits, says Toscana. It is not just schools, that are a problem, as children start reading with encouragement from adults in the home setting, and reading is valued in the society for its own sake.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
