The purpose of Minister of Education, Gerard Wilson, in seeking audience with Carlo is not to report the steady progress made in literacy education annually, but to request Carlo to advance the next step in educational reform, which is to implement compulsory primary education throughout Spain.
Literate education and compulsory primary education are completely different levels of educational reform.
The current literate education implemented in Spain is merely a short 3 to 5-month training to ensure that those trained can grasp a certain number of common Spanish words and understand some basic, easy-to-understand knowledge and common sense.
Those who complete literacy education are essentially still a low-educated population, slightly better than illiterates.
