Gerhard Prange concealed the fact that he could not read or write for years. In Germany alone six million people are estimated to be in a similar position. But now he wants to change all that.
Gerhard Prange is one of six million Germans who are unable to read or write. Letters from the authorities were left unanswered, leading to all kinds of problems; Prange began drinking and his marriage broke up. Finally he reached a turning point, and admitted that he was illiterate. For him, it was a liberating move and since then his life has improved. He’s stopped drinking, has a regular job and above all, the 63 year old has decided to go back to school and take part in a literacy course. He still needs nearly an hour to write a sentence without mistakes, with the help of a teacher. But he’s set himself a goal, one day Gerhard Prange plans to write a letter to his adult daughter. A report by Axel Rowohlt.

Learning is a life-long endeavour. Age therefore shouldn't be a deterrent. I remember when I was a 21 y/o law student, we had a couple of classmates who were way older than most of us fresh college graduates. The oldest was a 70 yo man who told us that he was only pursuing his dream to become a lawyer and that what matters is that he tried even if ever he didn't pass the course or the Bar. He was a huge inspiration to us.

At the age of 15 I was top of my Grammar School class in all subjects ... then, one day during the maths class, I had a fit (or a stroke?) ... and completely lost the ability to read for several hours ... I found myself staring at letters of the alphabet and numbers that my brain could not make any sense of. My reading ability did not fully return for several weeks. I also had difficulty understanding speech. I ran away from home and spent weeks wandering around the Scottish highlands ... coming down at night to lochside hotels and raiding their dustbins. I slept in barns, a cave, and a derelict crofthouse. On returning home I got a job in a laboratory and rapidly progressed to doing research work ... then, whilst studying at an evening class, it happened again ... this time it was much less than before and I fully recovered within a few days. Since then I've been OK. When I was 52 I was told by a psychologist that I have Aspergers ... with a 150+ IQ. Apparently people with Aspergers/Autism are at risk of epilepsy as our brains are neurologically different from the brains of neurotypical people ... sometimes the fits/strokes can prove fatal. I'm now 78 and, for the average ageist neurotypical authoritarian (who are mostly middle-aged), infuriatingly alert and quick-minded.

Learning has no age limit if you commit yourself to you will learn and achieve your goals, it's only those who feel shy when their age is above 30 or 40 that'll not learn anything because they're shy to go back to school and start from the lower classes because they will see themselves older in the class they attend

I watched a report about this and it said that many are children of immigrants living in communities of their nationality (Italian, Russian etc). So the children mostly speak their mother language at home and are exposed to German at school. This becomes a problem when they have homework but sometimes the parents cannot help because they don't understand (this happened to my ex when growing up).

@@tiac3589 do you know Germany? Let me explain myself again. . I'm not minimizing his problems, and I'm also assuming that when he wS young (my dad is older than him, born in 43 ) people finished school by 14 and did vocational training. Only the elite would go tk high-school or do nights hook lwhile working a day job. . What I was trying to explain that right now as we speak, Germany has had influx of economic immigrants. Again, like I said most of their parents don't speak German at home, cannot help their children with any homework. The communities are close knit hence they. Mostly associate with others of their homeland. A couple of years ago their made a study (on the German news several times + documentaries). Atleast 1/3 of schoolchildren cannot read of write German. Also the war ended in '45 and he's in his 60s, so im assuming the class system and corporal punishment affected him more than a war that had already ended

@@carpenoctem1182 well, after war Germany still has problems. Both west and communist block decided to split their country. Many germans cannot meet their family members which once living in the other part of their country. We cannot say everything is just normal and okay when the war is over because there are also post war effects and political instability. He mentioned it in the video, 'not so many teachers left after war', there is 40 students in one class and that he has foster parent from Sweden so he can also speak Swedish. It could be that he is an orphan too, who knows?🤷 German has immigrants because they have aging society. Their goverment need young working class people as the tax payers to help them paying senior citizen pension. It just happened lately and it might also contribute to illiteracy number. I know a bit about german history because I finnished my master degree there, I come from Southeast Asia so I do not know much about WW II until I live and study there. A lot of things happened in my country also connected with the war that once happened in Europe.

@incyphe - The minimum time of school in the west that you have to go through is 9 years. Most kids go for the higher school degrees (we have 4) and attend school for longer, but 9 or 10 years school doesn't tell you anything about it if someone is from the east or west. Btw, he doesn't have the typical eastern dialect and it's unlikely he could have traveled to Sweden as a kid if he would have grown up in the former GDR.

@Pustekuchen ​ - you got some verifiable stats ? i said east germany because of what he said - "Sechs mal sechs ist sechsunddreißig ..." googling suggests usage in the east as does the old style font on the street signs.

I'm 63 this year and don't consider myself to be old...I'm not. Anywho, as soon as I have the funds I'm going to try to get a degree. Experience counts for very little in most jobs these days. And on the application for a working' or business' visa in many countries, one of the requirements is a degree, these days.
