International Literacy Day
"Education is the most powerful weapon with which you can change the world." ~Nelson Mandela
International Literacy Day, observed on September 8, 2024, stands as a powerful reminder that literacy is not just a fundamental human right but also a cornerstone of human dignity. This year's theme, "Promoting multilingual education: Literacy for mutual understanding and peace," underscores the crucial role literacy plays in fostering connection and empathy across diverse cultures.
Multilingual education is key to unlocking the potential of individuals from various linguistic backgrounds. It strengthens global peace by bridging cultural divides.
As we celebrate this significant day, let us renew our commitment together, through shared dedication to multilingual education, and we build a more inclusive world rooted in mutual respect and harmony.
