Family Digest 64 – International Literacy Day 8th September by Lois Law
Since 1967, the annual celebrations of International Literacy Day (ILD) have taken place on 8th September around the world to remind policy-makers, practitioners, and the public of the critical importance of literacy in creating more literate, just, peaceful, and sustainable societies.1 This year, ILD is being celebrated under the theme of ‘Promoting multilingual education: Literacy for mutual understanding and peace’. Literacy is a fundamental human right. It opens the door to the enjoyment of other human rights, greater freedoms, and global citizenship.
