Today is International Literacy Day, which promotes literacy as a fundamental human right, raises awareness about the need to help people learn to read and write, especially among marginalized populations, and advocates for initiatives that improve access to education and information.
This year’s theme, ‘Promoting Literacy in the Digital Era,’ emphasizes on the importance of equipping people with the digital literacy skills required to thrive in an increasingly digital world and calls for collective efforts to ensure inclusive access to knowledge and sustainable literacy opportunities for all.
