Imagine you had no education and could not read or write. How difficult would your life be? This is the frightening reality for over 750 million adults in the world.
September 8th marks International Literacy Day– a day to applaud the progress we have made, and renew our focus on the work that still needs to be done. This year's theme; ‘Literacy and Multilingualism’ reflects the increasing importance of literacy across languages.
International Literacy Day serves as a reminder of how important literacy is for individuals and society. It’s also a date to reflect on issues that arise with global illiteracy and the work being done towards the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
