| Half of Afghan soldiers & police to be able to read by January |
| 2011-05-10 |
| Original headline: Half of Afghan Military Forces Won't Achieve 1st Grade Literacy Level by 2012 Key points: As of March, 2011 only 14% could read, write and count at first grade level, ie know their numbers and letters, can read/write some basic words. Literacy/numeracy have been added to basic training and at every training course. Literacy, attrition, and leadership shortfalls are the key difficulties currently faced by Afghanistan in being capable of self-defence and self-policing. |
