International Literacy Day-8th September
The Unesco theme of International Literacy Day 2012 is Literacy and Peace. This theme was adopted by the United Nations Literacy Decade (UNLD) to demonstrate the multiple uses and value that literacy brings to people.
Education
brings sustainability to all the development goals, and literacy is the
foundation of all learning. It provides individuals with the skills to
understand the world and shape it, to participate in democratic
processes and have a voice, and also to strengthen their cultural
identity.

Literacy is a human right, a tool of personal
empowerment and a means for social and human development. Educational
opportunities depend on literacy.

Irina Bokova, UNESCO Director General
A good quality basic education equips pupils with literacy skills for life and further learning; literate parents are more likely to send their children to school; literate people are better able to access continuing educational opportunities; and literate societies are better geared to meet pressing development.
