"In the European collective mentality, the image of literacy as a goal to achieve suggests areas outside the continent or, at the most, limited, peripheral areas. However, it is also a problem in ‘western’ and ‘industrialised’ areas. It is no coincidence that recent studies have shown that in Italy, 71% of the population is below the minimum comprehension threshold of an average difficulty text. Despite these statistics, no coordinated policies to tackle the problem have been found in the individual Member States, which will make it difficult to achieve the target set for 2020. It is important, in line with the European platform for tackling poverty, to underline that there is a need to coordinate the two areas of action, creating a synergy able to reverse the rate at which ‘poverty’ affects the percentages of early school leaving and, more generally, of poor school attendance. National governments, in the grip of the financial crisis, have almost all reduced educational funding. This risks boosting the vicious cycle of ‘low school attendance-unemployment’. This is why it has become so much more important for the European institutions to take action and provide support, through the targeted use of Structural Funds and implementation of alternative financial instruments."@en1
