Is it important to be "literate"? Why / why not?

Question:Why do we, as a society, make English a part of the academic class in high school?

Answers:
In this day and age if you are not literate, you will not get a job, you will not go on to higher education, you will not succedde.

Granted that in a society where people don't need to know how to read to advance, and literacy programs do not make a heck of alot of sence. In many cases where north americans are trying to teach the people how to read, they would be much more helpful if did something to solve the starvation problem.

But in North America, the UK and Europe as well as many other countries, a person needs to know how to read to advance in life, simply because everybody else knows how to read.
