SUMMARY:International Literacy Day (ILD)
DESCRIPTION:Since 1967\, the annual celebrations of International Literacy Day (ILD) have taken place on 8 September around the world to remind policy-makers\, practitioners\, and the public of the critical importance of literacy for creating more literate\, just\, peaceful\, and sustainable society.\nLiteracy is a fundamental human right for all. It opens the door to the enjoyment of other human rights\, greater freedoms\, and global citizenship. \nLiteracy is a foundation for people to acquire broader knowledge\, skills\, values\, attitudes\, and behaviours to foster a culture of lasting peace based on respect for equality and non-discrimination\, the rule of law\, solidarity\, justice\, diversity\, and tolerance and to build harmonious relations with oneself\, other people and the planet. \nIn 2022\, however\, at least one out of seven adults aged 15 and above (765 million) lacked basic literacy skills. Additionally\, millions of children are struggling to acquire minimum levels of proficiency in reading\, writing and numeracy\, while some 250 million children of 6-18 years old are out of school. \n#LiteracyDay
