Literacy

(Wise Sayings of Imam Khomeini)

o We shall eradicate illiteracy in the best possible manner.

o Let the illiterate all rise up to learn and all literate brothers and sisters rise up to teach!

o It is shameful that there are individuals unable to read and write in a country that has been a cradle of knowledge and lives under the banner of Islam, a religion that has declared acquisition of knowledge a duty.

o All our troubles throughout history have been due to the abuse made on the ignorance of people. By such abuse they made tools of the people against the people themselves. If the people had a guided knowledge it would have been impossible for the saboteurs to mobilize them in a direction contrary to their aim.
