International Literacy Day (ILD)

International Literacy Day (ILD), observed annually on September 8, aims to raise awareness about the importance of literacy worldwide. Literacy refers to the ability to read, write, and understand information, which is essential for participating fully in society, accessing opportunities, and making informed decisions. The day highlights the challenges many people face in gaining basic literacy skills and promotes efforts to improve education globally. By increasing awareness and advocating for literacy initiatives, ILD seeks to empower individuals, reduce poverty, and foster social and economic development.
