Well, I wish I had all the answers to our societal problems. I can't explain every single survey, but I can say that we have a good education system in Canada. We are graduating very well-educated people. At the same time, we have a very high dropout rate in people in the lower socio-economic group, and they could be encompassed in those adults who are illiterate.
We have lots of issues and challenges in education. We have discovered that everybody doesn't learn the same way, and everybody doesn't come to school with the same type of academic motivation or capabilities. We've learned that over the last number of years in education. Certainly over the last 30 years we have seen huge changes in education--in the way we teach, in the way we know students learn, in our resources, in the materials we provide, and things like that.
I am aware of the survey that was done, but I question the age range. When it talks about adults, what is the age range? Are they new graduates? Are they older people who were through the system 50 years ago? Are they rural?
