In the United States, functional illiteracy, the inability to understand and use written information at a level necessary for everyday life, affects 21% of adults, or approximately 43 million people. This means many individuals struggle to read basic sentences, fill out forms, or understand prescription labels. While a significant portion of adults (79%) are considered literate, a substantial number lack the necessary skills to navigate daily life effectively.And we spend more money on public education than any other Country.
