Abstract :
This article is the result of a study carried out on the problem of illiteracy in the Comoros, between 2015 and 2018. Comorian girls are the most affected by this scourge, but the most worrying is their high rate of adult illiteracy for multiple reasons. This work consists of verifying the influence of family, school and individual factors of school dropout among girls depending on the area of residence and identifying the factors that contribute the most. The literacy rate tends to increase among young people between the ages of 12 and 25, unlike adults who have a significant number of illiterates. This lets us say that the country has improved access to school. There are many explanatory factors for improving the literacy situation of young people. According to research carried out with education stakeholders, personal, socio-cultural, economic and educational factors influence school socialization in general and youth literacy in particular. Despite the efforts of the authorities, illiteracy remains a major problem in Comoros. We found in our study that nearly 70% of illiterates are adult girls and almost half live in rural areas. Several countries are struggling against illiteracy and the Comoros are no exception. The study of the determining factors remains an increasing priority in our study to guarantee equal opportunities, to ensure that each young person can build their personal and professional future.
