In many countries, there are certain programs which have been instituted to fight adult illiteracy; and universal public education has almost eliminated illiteracy among the young. Soldiers have been appointed effectively as instructors for the public. Throughout most of history most people have been illiterate. In former society, the ability to read and write was of value only to clergy and aristocracy. The first known reference to “literate laymen” did not appear until the end of the 14 th century. Illiteracy was not seen as a problem until the end after the invention of printing in the 15 th century. The first significant decline in illiteracy came with the Reformation, when translation of the Bible into the vernacular became widespread and Protestant converts were taught to read it. Revolutionary political movements from the 18 th to the 20 th century generally included an attack on illiteracy as one of their goals, with the former Soviet Union, China, and Cuba being among the most successful in the 20 th century. 46.
