“Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope. It is
a tool for daily life in modern society. It is a
bulwark against poverty, and a building block
of development, an essential complement to
investments in roads, dams, clinics and facto-
ries. Literacy is a platform for democratiza-
tion, and a vehicle for the promotion of cultur-
al and national identity. Especially for girls and women, it is an
agent of family health and nutrition. For everyone, everywhere,
literacy is, along with education in general, a basic human
right.... Literacy is, finally, the road to human progress and the
means through which every man, woman and child can realize
his or her full potential.”
― Kofi Annan
