Literacy is important in its own right but it is also widely acknowledged as one of the most powerful tools of development, which makes its relative neglect all the more frustrating. Against the background of the United Nations Literacy Decade and the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014), it is evident that literacy is not only a positive outcome of development processes but also a lever of change and an instrument for achieving further social progress. Hence, the theme of this year’s International Literacy Day is “Literacy sustains development”.

Progress has also been attained through adult literacy and non-formal education programmes in many countries but tremendous challenges still remain. An estimated 771 million adults live without basic literacy skills and two-thirds of them are women. Over 100 million children are still not enrolled in primary school and more than half of them are girls. Moreover, the sustainability of literacy is not assured as drop-out rates remain high. Globally, adult literacy is allocated only 1% of the national education budget. By their actions, governments and aid agencies show that they do not assign sufficient priority to literacy programmes for adults and youth. If the objectives of the United Nations Literacy Decade (2003-2012) and the “Education for All” literacy goal are to be met, pledges have to be translated to concrete action.
