That astounds me. I met some expatriates that were illiterate (well, they couldn't speak much either) when I lived there -- but they usually came and went over the course of three year stints. They lived with their families, in expat neighborhoods, and their kids went to Western (American) schools.
And they left. Every ~3 years or so.
Even that would kill me. For me, literacy is job one. I never understood how an adult would be - could be - willing to be functionally illiterate as an adult.
