This year, UNESCO is celebrating International Literacy Day (ILD) 2022 on the 8th of September under the theme – Transforming Literacy Learning Space – a global call to action that informs and inspires people of the importance of literacy learning spaces to build inclusive education for all. More than anything, ILD is for everyone to continue the celebration of progress achieved in literacy since the day it was first established in 1967. According to UNESCO, ILD aims to remind the public of the value of literacy as a matter of dignity and human rights. Yet, universally, there are still serious barriers to be addressed, as seven hundred and seventy-one million people in the world, two-thirds of whom are females, lack even the most basic literacy skills.
