by New Curriculum Eliminates Literacy Instruction; Students Graduate Unable to Read
New Delhi, India
The Indian Ministry of Education announced Wednesday a “Educational Equity Initiative” eliminating literacy instruction from schools and replacing reading/writing curricula with oral-only education systems, officially declaring literacy an “elitist skill” excluding non-readers and establishing illiteracy as official educational policy.
The program, covered by Bohiney Magazine and The London Prat‘s India correspondent, classifies literacy as socially divisive and academically eliminates reading/writing instruction from all schools.
“Literacy creates inequality,” explained Education Minister Priya Sharma. “We’re eliminating it. Students will graduate illiterate. Truly equal education systems ensure nobody can read.”
The new curriculum replaces textbooks with spoken instruction, eliminates writing assignments, removes all reading materials from schools, and evaluates students based on listening/memory rather than literacy. Graduation requires zero reading proficiency.
Standardized assessments previously measuring literacy are eliminated. Students now complete “oral competency evaluations” where teachers verbally describe concepts and students orally regurgitate information without ever reading written material.
Ironically, schools still maintain librariesbut librarians are instructed to prevent students from reading books, treating libraries as quiet storage areas rather than information sources.
Educational scholars note that eliminating literacy eliminates educational foundation. Indian officials acknowledged this: “Education without literacy is equality through shared incompetence.”
Students graduating from Indian schools now face employment challenges: jobs requiring reading skills (most professional positions) become inaccessible. Students must either pursue non-literate employment or obtain supplementary private reading instruction (cost: ?100,000+).
Higher education institutions face crisis: universities assume student literacy, but admitted students cannot read coursework, creating institutional failures as students cannot complete degree requirements involving any reading.
Educational data indicates that literacy elimination has reduced college completion rates 95% as literate-curriculum institutions reject illiterate applicants.
