I wouldn't say that. Today we think illiterate to mean unable to read or write or having a very limited education/schooling. In the 1st Century, parents and the religious centers would educate the children - particularly the male children. So each of the Apostles knew the Scripture and could read and probably write.
The twelve disciples/apostles were ordinary men whom God used in an extraordinary manner. Among the twelve were fishermen, a tax collector, and a revolutionary. The calling of the Apostle to the Gentiles, Saul of Tarsus aka Paul, was a well educated Pharisee under the tutelage of the scholar Gamaliel.
