Functionally illiterate
May 04, 2025
|The Freeman
According to the latest Functional Literacy, Education, and Mass Media Survey released by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), an estimated 21% of those who graduated senior high school, or one in five graduates, are functionally illiterate or cannot understand simple text.

The findings were revealed during a Senate basic education committee hearing last April 30.
"We recently are able to distill functional literacy by highest grade completed, and we note that only 79% of senior high school graduates in the K-12 are functional literate, meaning there's around 21% who are not able," a Philstar.com report quotes Adrian Cerezo, assistant national statistician of PSA's social sector statistics service, as saying.
