Answer 2

Neo-literacy. This term is well-known and fairly non-controversial. A neo literate is an individual who has completed a basic literacy training programe and has demonstrated the ability and willingness to continue to learn on his or her own using the skills and knowledge attained without the direct guidance of a literacy teacher. It is important to stress that technical achievement is not sufficient for an individual to be classed as a neo-literate. He or she needs to have the ability and willingness to continue as an independent learner. Post-literacy programmes are not only for semi-literates, but also for neo-literates who do not proceed beyond formal primary schooling or its equivalent.

Neo literate refers to individuals who have recently acquired literacy skills or have improved their existing literacy skills. This term is often used in the context of adult education programs or initiatives aimed at promoting literacy among marginalized or underserved populations.
