ë Literacia

Recognizing that literacy practices and a literate environment benefit from inputs at an early age and span a whole lifetime, UNESCO sees its role as promoting the acquisition of literacy in primary schooling for children and through non-formal education for youth and adults, particularly for girls and young women.

In formal education, UNESCO works to strengthen literacy opportunities for children in primary school, based on the firm conviction that all children who attend school should learn to read and write, recognising that literacy is a key learning tool, literacy remains essential to achievement throughout the primary and secondary school cycle. Considering that teachers play a central role in creating an effective learning environment for reading and writing achievement; UNESCO places a strong focus on building capacity to teach literacy, and strengthening the literate environment. UNESCO also supports innovative practices in literacy and non-formal education; it focuses its work in the world where literacy needs are greatest and on the most vulnerable population groups. UNESCO’s concern is also to understand how best to promote literacy in connection with the current and changing issues in today’s world. Communication is the key element of development cooperation of all kinds and in any context.
