International Literacy Day
Literacy is the Best Remedy
http://portal.unesco.org/education/en/ev.php-URL_I...
by UNESCO


8th September is International Literacy Day. UNESCO is placing a special focus on the relationship between literacy and health this year using the slogan Literacy is the Best Remedy. Find out more on the UNESCO website

On International Literacy Day each year, UNESCO reminds the international community of the status of literacy and adult learning globally. Despite many and varied efforts, literacy remains an elusive target: some 774 million adults lack minimum literacy skills; one in five adults is still not literate and two-thirds of them are women; 75 million children are out-of-school and many more attend irregularly or drop out.
