With a population and limited resources, people will face poverty more acutely in the coming decade. being converted into living spaces, cities are getting more polluted due to overpopulation, and as a result. Along with this, the illiteracy rate will increase since poverty affects the literacy rate in any country. for the government and citizens to tackle, especially in a country that does not have a high budget for education. For example, according to some estimations, 60% of Indians will live below the poverty line despite the increase in billionaires in this region, and the illiteracy rate will be higher among such destitute families.
The government has to propose strict guidelines for making primary and secondary education completely free and mandatory as to the illiteracy problem. The local administration, on top of that, should attract children to schools.
