Answers
The innovative steps that could be taken to educate the illiterate parents are:
1. Students can be a medium for teaching their parents so they can be encouraged or made aware of the gross problem of illiteracy such that they become teachers at home for the betterment of the society.
2. Arranging free evening classes in school for the parents and encouraging them to enroll by providing incentives.
3. Providing an option for online classes for the ones unable to attend the free classes held in school. Also, for the convenience of the parents an easy to use application can be made wherein they can submit their assignments at ease.
4. Apart from all the possible modes of imparting education to the adults, mass campaigns need to be held so as to encourage the parents to come forward and enroll themselves.
