"The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was illiterate, so the purpose of reading was not just reading the writing, but also reading the phenomena of life," he explained. This was meant by Poncojari, that literacy did not only stop at textual.
Poncojari then explained how Japan rose from World War II by promoting the literacy movement. "Now Japan is above other countries. Look, on the streets of Indonesia flooded with cars from Japan, "he said.
Vocational students were able to make electric cars, but they will lose fighting in the market because marketing management literacy was lacking. So anyone, especially lecturers, must enrich literacy in any field, "he said. (Win)
