    The document discusses illiteracy in Mexico, particularly among vulnerable groups like the elderly, women, and indigenous people. It notes that while the government has invested resources in eradicating illiteracy, the strategies have not been as successful as hoped. Illiteracy is rooted in the social reproduction of inequality in Mexican society. Merely teaching people to read and write is not enough - efforts must also address the poverty and socioeconomic conditions that prevent many from accessing education. In the author's community of Santa María del Monte, many indigenous people still lack access to schooling, predominantly those with limited resources regardless of age. The document concludes that illiteracy marginalizes populations and focuses on vulnerable groups. Mexico could make more rapid progress

    Illiteracy in Mexico

    Researchers found that the seriousness of the figures on illiteracy that affects Mexico,
    but above all, the elderly, and among them women and indigenous people, is rooted in
    the mechanisms of reproduction of the structures of our society. It is stated that
    government strategies to eradicate illiteracy have not had the expected success given
    the resources invested and the current technological advances. The evolution of this
    problem is analyzed from different perspectives leading to the conclusion that illiteracy
    amounts to one of the greatest debts of Mexican society and that its resolution will be
    difficult to attain if the social context of illiterates is not changed, if their
    socioeconomic conditions are not modified and if the efforts to teach them to read and
    write are not complemented by measures to cut down the conditions of poverty and
    inequality in which they live. In my community, Santa María del Monte, there are still a
    large number of indigenous people who do not have access to education and it mainly
    affects people with limited resources regardless of their age.

    People think that they need a lot of resources, both financial and technological, in
    order to receive an education, however I think that people can be oriented to
    approach the INEA program in order to complete their basic education.

    In conclusion, this condition generates marginalization; In addition, it focuses on


    vulnerable populations, such as women, indigenous people, or the economically
    disadvantaged. Mexico could do much more and faster in favor of those living in
    illiteracy. According to official information, between 1999 and 2013, progress has been
    made in reducing illiteracy by only 3.5 percentage points; that is, if in the first
    reference year 9.6% of those over 15 years of age had such a condition, in 2013 the
    indicator stood at 6%.  "The vision has to be much broader, because actually people
    are left without learning to read or write on the poverty, and while the poverty there
    will continue to be Mexicans who will not be able to really have access to education ”
