International Literacy Day serves as a reminder that the ability to read and write is essential not only for individual growth but also for the progress of nations. The day highlights the need to make education accessible to all, ensuring that no one is left behind. This annual event was declared by UNESCO on October 26, 1966, at the 14th session of UNESCO's General Conference and celebrated for the first time in 1967.

On this day, schools, governments, NGOs, and communities organise campaigns, workshops, and activities to encourage reading and spread awareness about the importance of education for a secure future. The day is not only about celebrating achievements in education but also about taking action to ensure that literacy becomes a universal reality.
