Patterns of Incidence and Change in Moroccan Literacy.
Lavy, Victor; Spratt, Jennie
Comparative Education Review, v41 n2 p120-41 May 1997
The Morocco Literacy Survey, which directly assessed various individual competencies, and a self-report were completed by 8,050 Moroccans in 2,240 households. Analysis of age cohorts revealed that Morocco halved illiteracy in the past three decades, but rural-urban and gender disparities widened. Literacy classification by self-report or educational attainment misclassified about 7% of respondents. (SV)
