According to him, it is shameful for anyone to tag only English speakers with literacy considering literacy takes into consideration every language. “Literacy is the ability to read and write a language or languages, and all languages can be factored into that definition. If you look at it like that, if someone can read and write any of the Ghanaian languages, that person is a literate in that specific Ghanaian language. We have some people who are literates in English but illiterate in their own Ghanaian languages but that’s a shame,” he said. So they are literate in English but illiterate in their languages and they are not bothered about it.
