UNESCO: United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organizations
Theme: Literacy for Sustainable Societies
Why: Literacy is much more than an educational priority—it is the ultimate investment in the future and the first step towards all the new forms of literacy required in the twenty-first century. We wish to see a century where every child is able to read and to use this skill to gain autonomy. -Irina Bokova, UNESCO Director General
