No no and no. It's not like this. It is logical that adult literacy is something that I studied deeply, but I studied this topic due to a social need in my country, as a challenge. Secondly, I studied adult literacy within the context of education and within the framework of the theory of knowledge, but not as something in itself, because as such it does not exist.” "
