Literacy Literacy is a pressing issue on the Adult Education agenda for the Arab Region, the key to development beyond the notion of reading and writing; it also encompasses language and computer skills and other relevant skills needed to cope in modern society and fully participate in all aspects of life. Literacy Improvement. In 1980 the Arab States were able to attain 51.3% literacy rate, an increase of 11% from the previous decade (40.8%). A decade later that rate rose to 61.5%, an increase of only 10%. This was not a considerable increase if these countries were keen to eradicate illiteracy or cut it in half by the year 2000 in accordance with the 1990 Jomtein Declaration. In other words, at an annual rate of 1% increase, the Arab countries will need an additional 39 years to eradicate illiteracy2 . Literacy Rates. Great variations exist among the Arab states in their literacy rates for the age group 15 and over. The most recent data (Table 1) reveals that such literacy rates range from 80% and above in nine countries (Jordan, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Kuwait, Lebanon, Qatar, and Libya), which are relatively small states with the exception of Saudi Arabia, to less than 75% in nine other countries with large populations, with Iraq, Mauritania and Yemen standing as low as 40% and 41.2% and 49% respectively. As John Daniel, former UNESCO Assistant Director General for Education alarmingly warns “the Arab region has some of the world’s lowest adult literacy rates, with only [62.2%] of the region’s population of 15 and over able 2 The Regional Report on Education for All in the Arab Countries, The Regional Arab Conference, Assessment 2000, UNESCO, Cairo, Egypt, 2000, p.65 . 3 to read and write in [2000-2004] well below the world average of [84%] and the developing countries average of [76.4%]”3 . As for the age group 15-24 (Table 1), the achievements were greater, whereby eleven countries attained a literacy rate of 90% and over well above the world average of 87.6% (Jordan, UAE, Bahrain, Syria, Qatar, Kuwait, Algeria, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Tunisia), with Jordan scoring the highest (99.4%). Such “literacy abundant” countries are contrasted to another “literacy deprived” group of five states with the largest Arab population all scoring below the developing countries average of 85.2% (Sudan, Egypt, Morocco, Mauritania, and Yemen). Improvement of Female Literacy. Female literacy rates 15 and over (Table 1) in the Arab world today range from 24 (Iraq) to 85.9 percent (Jordan). Between 1990 and 2000- 2004, six Arab countries ranked above the world average of 76.5%. Bahrain raised it female literacy rate from 74.6% to 84.2%, Jordan from 72.1% to 85.9%, Kuwait from 72.6% to 81%, Lebanon from 73.1% to 82%, Qatar from 76% to 82.3%, and the United Arab Emirates from 70% to 80.7%. However, despite such a great strides in female literacy in these countries, high rates of illiteracy among women persists in the majority of the Arab countries, indeed women today account for two thirds of the region’s illiterates and according to the Arab Human Development Report 2002, p.52, this rate is not expected to disappear “not until 2040”. Several factors seem to account for such a deficit, chief among them are the low base in primary enrollment from which such countries started, the slow down in the rate of increase in enrollment during the 1990s compared with the 1980s, with an apparent bias against female (AHDR 2002, p.52), the decline in public expenditure on education since 1995 (AHDR 2003, p.52), in addition to “a decline in political commitment or inappropriate approaches to rectifying the situation”4 .

Based on the arrows, in which direction are air masses moving?
kotykmax [81]

The correct answer is - from west to east.

On the globe that is presented, the arrows clearly point to a movement of the air masses from west towards east. Both on the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere, the movement is in the same direction, and also, there's no difference in the direction of the cold air masses and the warm air masses. These winds are known as westerlies, prevailing westerlies, or as anti-trade winds.

These winds have opposite movement from the winds that appear on the Equator, as those winds move from east towards west.

jasenka [17]
In my opinion, I find it better to consume local products rather than global products. I say this because I believe it’s good to support your local community instead of a global company that’s already big. Local products are probably less transported into places meaning there is a low risk of it being infectious.

Explain how storms are formed due to rising temperatures and other changes in
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Hurricanes need a lot of heat to form, which is why they usually occur over tropical seas (at least 26°C).

The sun is close to the equator, providing energy to heat the ocean.

The warm ocean heats the air above it causing it to rise rapidly.

Water evaporates quickly from the hot surface of the ocean, so the rising air contains great amounts of water vapour.

The rising air starts to spin (anti-clockwise in the northern hemisphere)

The centre of the storm - the eye - is calm.

As the air rises it cools, condenses and forms towering cumulonimbus clouds.

The rapidly rising air creates an area of intense low pressure. The low pressure sucks in air, causing very strong winds.

Once the storm moves over land it starts to lose energy and fades.
