Education for young people is important in many countries. However, some people think that the government should spend more money on education in adult populations who cannot read and write. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

basic education.
For example

 demands high physical labour. By the time their

 ends, they simply would want to go home, have a warm family dinner and head to bed to re-charge for the

 day. If they are unwilling to commit, investment in teaching them could go to waste.
Additionally
, it will be difficult to persuade them to learn how to read and write at their age. They might find going to the night classes embarrassing. I have a neighbour who is in her fifties but did not receive education during her younger years. I read her the headings in the daily newspapers every evening after

. I have ever asked her if she would like to learn how to read for half an hour every day, but she does not wish to, since she is shameful to start reciting alphabets at her age. All in all, since it will be difficult to get most of the adult population to start learning and commit throughout the journey, I believe that governments should not invest more than the current limit to educate them.
