International Literacy Day
International Literacy Day is celebrated every year on 8th September across the world. It was first declared by UNESCO in 1966 to highlight the importance of literacy for individuals, communities, and societies.
Literacy is not just about reading and writing, but also about gaining knowledge, developing skills, and achieving empowerment.
It helps reduce poverty, improve health, promote gender equality, and create sustainable development.
Literacy is the foundation of lifelong learning and a basic human right.
UNESCO announces a specific theme for International Literacy Day to focus on global challenges and solutions related to literacy. The theme encourages countries to take initiatives for spreading education and awareness.
International Literacy Day reminds us that education is the key to empowerment and progress. It inspires us to work towards a world where every individual can read, write, and grow with dignity.
