The city faced a one day school closure as the United Federation of Teachers led by Albert Shanker pressed for more control over cuts and contract extensions.

Illiteracy Rising Among Women Across the World
An International Symposium for Literacy in Iran highlighted that nearly two thirds of the world 800 million illiterate adults are women. American anthropologist Helen Callaway notes economic development and education widen gaps favoring men. In Burundi Chad and Ethiopia illiteracy among women exceeds 90 percent. Latin America lags Africa and parts of Asia. High illiteracy correlates with weak self government and post colonial instability. In regions with 90 percent plus illiteracy men are similarly unlettered.
