18% of people worldwide are illiterate (1 in 5 people)
14% is the U.S. illiteracy rate versus 1%-5% in other industrialized countries
The Solution
Technology-Driven Education Project (TDEP) is the Bailey Institute’s global initiative to nurture leaders and reduce illiteracy through Internet-delivered English, science and mathematics courses that prepare people for work, tertiary education and success in the digital age. TDEP plans to expand to the U.S. and Nepal in 2011.
TDEP Success
TDEP achieved 98% success for 174 Liberian students in 2010.
