- World literacy day is observed every year on September 8. Literacy and education is very important for humans to grow and create a sustainable environment but today in the 21st century, many people lack basic literacy skills.
- The United Nations Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) has announced to celebrate the International literacy day 2021 under the “Literacy for a human-centred recovery: Narrowing the digital divide” theme.
- UNESCO tweeted: “Digital skills have become a key factor to access life-saving information. But over half of the world’s population lack basic skills for computer-based activities.
- We must step up efforts to expand #literacy and digital skills for all!”
- This theme will focus on exploring the opportunities to spread technology-enabled literacy that includes all. No one should be left out from achieving their right to be literate and educated.
