How do I fill in the literacy level of a person who has not attended school?

The literacy level of a person who has not attended school can be filled in as none, illiterate or semi-literate.

Literacy is a word that indicates an important indicator of the quality of the population of a country or a nation, and it marks the degree of popularization and development of culture and education in a

country.

According to the national literacy code standard (national standard GB4658-84), literacy can be classified into postgraduate students, undergraduates (abbreviation: bachelor's degree), junior colleges and colleges of specialization, secondary specialized schools (abbreviation: junior colleges) or secondary technical schools (abbreviation: secondary technical), technical schools, senior high schools, junior high schools, elementary schools, and illiterate or semiliterate people from the major categories.

An illiterate person is an adult who cannot read and write. Semi-literates are those who can read and write very little.

Extended information:

I. Illiteracy

(1) "Wen" means "grain". "Illiteracy" means "tattoo blindness". It refers to adults who do not recognize the written word.

(2) Adults who recognize words, but lack the ability to think.

(3) Adults who recognize the written word but do not understand the specific language and culture.

For some phonetic scripts, especially all-phonetic scripts, one can read the pronunciation as long as one understands the minimum rules of pronunciation, and then understand the meaning of the text through phonetics. That is why there are very few illiterate people in countries that use such scripts.

Second, illiteracy statistics

The current method of counting illiterates is not rigorous enough. When counting the literacy rate, as long as a person has completed the fourth grade of elementary school, he or she will be counted as a literate person, which is not a very accurate and generalized method, and can easily turn the literacy rate into the school enrollment rate in a disguised form.

People who have not reached the fourth grade of elementary school will still be counted as illiterate even if they have studied themselves to a high level of talent. According to such a statistical method, the poet Gu Cheng and the Hong Kong businessman Li Ka-shing will also be regarded as illiterate; while people with low IQs or those who have been skipping school every day will be counted as a group of literate people as long as they pass the fourth grade of elementary school even though they have learned only a limited amount of things in school.

According to the results of the sixth national census released by the National Bureau of Statistics on April 28, 2011, the illiterate population (people aged 15 and older who cannot read or write) was 5,465,573 in the mainland's 31 provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the central government, and the population of active-duty military personnel.
