Three million illiterates become literate in 1990.

Remarkable achievements have been made since September 1990 in eliminating illiteracy, according to Wang Mingda, vice minister of the State Education Commission, China. 3 million illiterates have become literate since September 1990 and the number of illiterates among teenagers dropped drastically. At a meeting of the National Coordinating Group for Eliminating Illiteracy, Wang noted that according to incomplete statistics from some provinces and municipalities, there have been over 6 million illiterates attending schools throughout the country since September 1990 with 3 million becoming literates. The proportion of illiterates to the total population has declined to 15.88% in 1900 from 22.8% in 1982. New efforts nationwide to eliminate illiteracy were made in 1990, the "International Year for Eliminating Illiteracy." As for future tasks and countermeasures, Wang said that further efforts would be made to follow the guideline of "Teaching by All the Educated and Learning by All the Illiterates" to achieve the objective of eliminating illiteracy among young and adult people within 5 years.
