International Literacy Day Promos

International Literacy Day is also a day for celebration as there are close to 4 billion literate people in the world today. Many awards and programs are available through UNESCO and the IRA for individuals and organizations that are playing a part in the challenge to achieve worldwide literacy. International Literacy Day is celebrated on September 8th every year. The significance of this date is that on September 8th, 1966, the World Conference of Ministers of Education on the Eradication of Illiteracy was held in Tehran, Iran. The Conference decided to make this date International Literacy Day to recognize the strides made in global literacy, as well as a day of remembrance for all those who have not yet been given the opportunity to learn to read and write.

The United Nations adopted a resolution in 2001 to make the decade from 2003-2012 the Literacy Decade. This resolution manifests a collective will of countries that are facing literacy challenges and those countries that are in a position to aid them to promote literacy together. At ePromos, we recognize that it is everyone's social responsibility to join in the campaign for worldwide literacy. The ability to read and write is an essential component in our own company, as well as our daily quality of life.
