Consequences of Illiteracy - JSS2 Civic education Lesson Note
- Economic Disadvantages: Illiteracy limits individuals' employment opportunities, earning potential, and economic mobility, perpetuating poverty and socioeconomic inequality.
- Social Exclusion: Illiteracy isolates individuals from full participation in social, cultural, and political life, limiting their ability to access information, advocate for their rights, and engage in civic activities.
- Health Risks: Illiteracy contributes to poor health outcomes by limiting access to healthcare information, preventive services, and medical resources, exacerbating health disparities and mortality rates.
