According to the latest survey from Statistics Finland, according to SVT, there were around 780,000 people between 16 and 65 years of age are illiterate in Sweden, but the number is increasing rapidly.

When the new figures come this winter, assessors expect the figure to have risen to over 800,000 and before the end of the decade over a million of Sweden's inhabitants could be illiterate.< /p>

“If the development continues, we risk having a whole generation of young people who in practice become functionally illiterate”, stated Minister of Education Johan Pehrson (L) and Minister of Education Lotta Edholm (L) in a debate article this week.

However, the ministers do not mention that the main cause of rampant illiteracy is the ongoing mass immigration of illiterate adults from the third world, which the government is doing nothing about.

Instead, the government continues to hand out 100,000 residence permits a year, approximately as much as the Reinfeldt government, which Fria Tider reported on in detail this summer.

– Every month we receive 8-10 students who are illiterate, stated Rita Sommarkrans, SFI teacher in Västerås, last spring in a interview with SVT.

Being illiterate in Sweden is difficult because you cannot pay bills, shop, take in information or book a doctor's appointment. According to SVT, however, miracles happen at SFI.

– I didn't know the alphabet but now I can read and write, claims an Arabic illiterate in SVT during the visit to SFI in Västerås.
