In this study, we attempted to obtain implications for pending literacy issues by examining issues related to literacy in the United States, Japan, Germany, France, Canada, and Korea, as well as national policy support and countermeasures. As the pandemic progressed, the gap in public education grew, and concerns over the decline in basic education began to grow. In the United States, we are preparing an intensive support strategy for immigrants with limited English use. In Japan, we are striving for policies such as individual and cooperative learning, the use of big data, the development of basic literacy and mathematical thinking skills, the ability to use information technology, and literary convergence. In Germany, parents lay the foundation for literacy by conducting activities to read books to young children. France is expanding literacy education by increasing the number of hours spent learning Korean and making reading hours mandatory. By considering literacy countermeasures in these major countries, improvements and implications for domestic literacy countermeasures can be drawn.
