September 8 is International Literacy Day, a day dedicated to promoting the importance of literacy as a fundamental human right and a key factor in achieving sustainable development.
The theme for 2023 is “Promoting Literacy for a World in Transition: Building the Foundations for Sustainable and Peaceful Societies.”
Literacy is not just about reading and writing. It is about the ability to access information, effective communication and full participation in society. It’s also about critical thinking, problem solving and creativity.
Literacy is essential for individuals, communities and societies. It can help people improve their health, employment prospects and general well-being. It can also help reduce poverty, inequality and social exclusion.
In an increasingly interconnected and complex world, literacy is more important than ever. It is the basis for learning, innovation and social progress.
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of literacy. The closure of schools and other educational institutions led to a drop in literacy levels, especially among children and young people.
The pandemic has also exacerbated existing inequalities in literacy, with the disadvantaged disproportionately affected.
In order to build a more sustainable and peaceful world, we must ensure that everyone has access to quality education and literacy.
We need to invest in programs that promote literacy, especially for girls and women, and for people from disadvantaged backgrounds. We must also ensure that literacy programs are relevant to the needs of the 21st century.
