Statistics on Literacy[1]:

  • Today, nearly 17% of the world’s adult population is still not literate; two thirds of them women, making gender equality even harder to achieve.
  • The scale of illiteracy among youth also represents an enormous challenge; an estimated 122 million youth globally are illiterate, of which young women represent 60.7%.
  • The 67.4 million children who are out of school are likely to encounter great difficulties in the future, as deficient or non-existent basic education is the root cause of illiteracy.
  • With some 775 million adults lacking minimum literacy skills, literacy for all thus remains elusive.

Children come to primary school bringing along thoughts and feelings, words and pictures, memories, ideas,  fantasies and fears. They are intensely curious about the world and the people they have met in their short, but intense, journeys.
