Must be a visual literacy issue… heh heh*
No, he tells us… age 15, so high school student in western Sydney… taught himself to read. Teachers don’t know how is my comment… after training 1000s to do so, including western Sydney (and Africa) Leapt out at me, sorry, had to comment.

According to this story (http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-09-10/from-child-soldier-to-refugee-lawyer-an-inspiring-journey/6764088), Deng taught himself to read when he first arrived in Australia. He was not illiterate from a failure in the Australian school system, but from having spent years in refugee camps, one run by the Sudanese People's Liberation Army who forced him to be a child soldier. This story on SBS reports that some teachers played a crucial role in his education:

Here's a quote:
Through perseverance and a little extra help from some dedicated teachers he learnt English, completed his HSC at TAFE and eventually studied law at university.
