Like other countries around the globe, Bangladesh will observe the ‘International Literacy Day-2024’ today in a befitting manner.
This year’s theme of the day is “Promoting multilingual education: Literacy for mutual understanding and peace”.
On the occasion of the day, the Bureau of Non-Formal Education under the Ministry of Primary and Mass Education will organize a discussion meeting today at the office of Bureau of Non-Formal Educa-tion in the capital’s Tejgaon area, said a press release yesterday.
On September 8, 1967, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) officially declared September 8 as International Literacy Day, marking a significant mile-stone in the fight against illiteracy.
The Day has been instrumental in raising global awareness about the importance of literacy and high-lighting the millions of individuals still struggling with illiteracy.
