I think the most important thing for literacy is a nationwide culture of reading.
That has stopped existing over the last decades. Parents do not read and so neither do their children.
Reading is now a niche hobby. If you visit a book store you will also find out that most "readers" are a very niche group, who mostly read genre fiction or crime slop.
The amount of people actually reading intellectually challenging literature is miniscule. Is it any surprise to have an illiteracy problem in a country where nobody reads?
