INTRODUCTION
The
level of illiteracy among the rural communities in Abuja FCT is discovered by
the DEAN initiative to be extremely high. Over 90 percent of the rural dwellers
are highly illiterate because of poor attitude towards formal education and it
has resulted into them not allowing their children attend primary schools. In a
bid to address this malady, DEAN Initiative created a project that will increase
awareness on the important of formal education in bringing social liberation to
the people at the grassroots especially in FCT.
