The UAE illiteracy rate when, the UAE first became a country
was high, but nowadays it’s less than 10%. Research shows that students demand
fewer reading classes. And now there are classes which are targeted for older
people.
At the beginning the illiteracy rate of the UAE population
was 75.1% but in 2010-2011 statistics from (SCAD) the Statistics Centre- Abu
Dhabi showed that the rate had gone down to 6%.
In 1960-1961 there were no enrolled females in schools but
nowadays, the number of males barely outweighs the number of females which is a
huge difference from 50 years ago.
SCAD in their report, which included resident older than 10
years old, measured the literacy in English and Arabic but without noting the
proficiency in both Arabic and English in schools. 2010-2011 reports mentioned
the number of 306,497 pupils in 480 schools, of which 299 are government
schools.
