What is International Literacy Day?
International Literacy Day was proclaimed by UNESCO in 1966. It reminds the public of the importance of literacy as a matter of dignity and human rights, and to advance the literacy agenda towards a more literate and sustainable society. Around 773 million adults worldwide lack basic literacy skills.
