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?
Formal schooling for the young is of immense significance for a country’s socio-economic development,
however
, some people are convinced that more money should be allocated for educating illiterate adults
. I agree with this
view to some extent and will analyse the issue in the following essay.
On the one hand, government budgets in many countries, particularly in under-developed
and developing nations, are limited. Correct your spelling

Therefore
, if more funding is spent on improving adult literacy rates, the education
of children and adolescents may suffer as a consequence
of less funding. Eventually, maintaining a suitable level and quality of education
, for both children and illiterate adults
, may become an impossible task with limited funding, possibly negatively affecting the education
of both groups.
However

increasing the unemployment rate due to
their lack of literacy skills when searching for other types of work. This
situation not only reduces the standard of living for many people, but is also
an underlying motive for a rise in social problems, such
as crime, homelessness, and poverty. Providing formal schooling to adults
who cannot read or write proves to be a useful measure to reduce the negative consequences that may occur in a society with high levels of adult illiteracy.
In conclusion, state funding may not allow an adequate amount of money for the education
of both the youth and adults
to take effect. However
, I still believe that if more money is spent on educating illiterate adults
, social welfare in such
regions will benefit tremendously.Submitted by daminiramchurn15 on

The Greeting
Depending on the style and aim of the letter, you will need to adapt your greeting.
Always start an informal letter in the ways:
- Dear + name
- Hi / Hello + name
‘Dear...’ is more appropriate, so stick with this.
For a formal letter there are two options for the greeting:
- Use Dear Sir or Madam if you don’t know the name of the person you are writing to.
- Use Dear + surname if you do know their name, e.g. Dear Mr Smith or Dear Mrs Jones.
