International Literacy Day is celebrated every year on September 8th to highlight the importance of literacy and education worldwide. This day aims to raise awareness about the importance of literacy and empower individuals to improve their skills. It also serves as a reminder of the numerous benefits that come with being literate in today's fast-paced world.

Education is a fundamental human right and literacy is essential for individuals to fully participate in society. By promoting literacy, we can help break the cycle of poverty, improve health outcomes, and empower individuals to reach their full potential. This year's theme for International Literacy Day is "Literacy teaching and learning in the COVID-19 crisis and beyond".

Through a series of events, discussions, and activities, International Literacy Day seeks to inspire people to take action to improve literacy rates around the world. The day also recognizes the progress that has been made in promoting literacy and calls for continued efforts to ensure that everyone has access to quality education. Together, we can make a difference and create a more literate and equitable world for all.
