Education vs literacy
Good morning to you all,

I'd like some help from a native speaker in understanding this passage of the book review which can be found here.

Of Boys and Men by Richard Reeves review – the descent of man

The specific passage is "Perhaps the big takeaway is Heal (health, education, administration and literacy), an acronym he has coined – “Never doubt the power of a good acronym”, he quips – as a counterpoint to Stem (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). Just as women are finally making headway in the traditionally male-dominated Stem industries, so, Reeves argues, should men be looking to expand their part in Heal jobs."

The question is: what is the difference between education and literacy jobs?

About the same as differentiating ”technology” and ”engineering” at a very fundamental level.
