Event idea, 'Back to School' ?

Well yeah but that's beside the point I was making.

My point is that they've stated they're illiterate but didn't define if their version of "illiteracy" is a pure one (incapable of reading/writing at all), or if it's a "working" illiteracy, in which case it's possible that Eorzeans might have a very basic understanding of some literacy aspects. Even if it's just a once a week "school" (just a gathering place) for kids/people of all ages or something small like that.

Well you have to understand what type of society each city state uses to get around how much education is obtained by their citizens.

Ul'dah uses a Monarchy.

Ishgard uses Theorcracy.

Gridania uses a Oligarchy

Limsa Lominsa uses a Liberal Democracy

Then you must also take into account what is the state of their cultural development.

With the currrent state of things Ul'dah has the least amount of people who can afford a education and they would be lucky to even get 1 lesson a month.

Ishgard focus of education is their religion so their citizens may be getting a decent amount (maybe 1 per week) but only about their religous beliefs while higher members of their society obtains more proper education.

Gridania has shown that they do provide education to all ages no matter their society level.

Limsa is the unknown for now since it remains young and not much is known yet if they have set up a proper education system.
