Wyclef Jean has reportedly called for better education for youth in his native Haiti.

The rapper/producer said that the country's government must concentrate on improving literacy following January's devastating earthquake.

"If we're going to get to the 21st century, I don't know how we're going to do that with a population who can't read or write," Jean told The AP.

He added: "We have to think strategic on how we deal with the situation on a level beyond emotions."

Jean's Yele Haiti Foundation is working to build shelters for those affected by the earthquake.
