“Literacy is not just about educating, it is a unique and powerful tool to eradicate poverty and a strong means for social and human progress.”
International Literacy Day, designated by UNESCO in 1967, is an annual awareness day that marks the importance of literacy to all countries and cultures.
International Literacy Day 2024 will focus on literacy teaching and learning in the COVID-19 crisis and beyond, with a focus on the role of educators and changing teaching practices. This means that this year the day is more relevant than ever to teachers and the challenges of teaching literacy that COVID-19 has brought, and future-proof approaches to teaching that might be adopted.
This is an important rally against privatization of our public health care. There is a real threat of AHS being partitioned off to Covenant Health, a faith-based private health care provider. If you can, please come out and show support.
