Since 1967, the celebration of International Literacy Day has taken place on September 8th around the world to remind policy-makers, practitioners, and the public of the critical importance of literacy for creating a more literate, just, peaceful, and sustainable society. This year's theme will be "Promoting literacy in the digital era."
