The reading crisis - the reasons and its effects

Pedagogical, social, political and economic aspects

According to various statistics, more than one million people in Switzerland have a reading disability, which means that they are unable to understand even fairly simple texts, meaning that the basic idea of the texts is lost on them. Particularly worrying is the finding that a quarter of 14-year-olds do not even reach competence level 2 (on a scale of 1 - 6). This is worrying.

We hear from various people about this fact and talk to them about the consequences and possible corrections.
