Twenty five million people are illiterate. Illiteracy happens because of many reasons. Some people have a learning disability that prevents them from the skills of reading and writing. Others haven't learned because they weren't taught or they didn't attend school. Some are second language learners and have problems reading or writing in their L1 ( first language) and can't use it to build a foundation for the L2 ( second language).
