Literacy

Literacy is not education, but surely literacy is the begining of education. A literate person can later on teach himself, by reading books and analyzing the information and content in there. Literacy is equivalent to giving a person a key to the world of knowledge. 

If the person is literate he would be able to use computers, read the manuals and learn to use machines. He would be able to communicate with anyone through mails, blog posts etc. And what is literacay, its knowing the letters of a particular language, ability to compose words and write sentences.

So necessarily the person is only learning a code that would allow him to read whatever he wants. For a nation achieving 100% literacy is a must. Education is a lifelong process and runs well beyond formal education.
