International Literacy Day 2025

International Literacy Day is celebrated every year on September 8, a UNESCO initiative since 1966. The 2025 theme, “Promoting literacy in the digital era,” highlights the need to ensure digitalization expands learning opportunities without leaving behind those lacking basic literacy skills. Despite progress, millions of youth and adults worldwide still struggle with reading and writing. ILD 2025 reminds us that literacy is a fundamental human right and a key to building inclusive and sustainable societies.
