September is Basic Education and Literacy Month.
Literacy is at the heart of basic education for all, and
essential for eradicating poverty, reducing child mortality,
curbing population growth, achieving gender equality and
ensuring sustainable development, peace and democracy.
Literacy is a significant and specific goal for Rotary. It is so
important that it is one of the 6 areas of focus for The
Rotary Foundations Future Vision – basic education and
literacy. Such importance has been placed on literacy that
Rotary International has created a “Rotary Literacy
Month” that takes place during the month of September
from this RY.
Consider these facts:
If all women completed primary education, there would be
66% fewer maternal deaths.
A child born to a mother who can read is 50% more likely
to survive past the age of five.
If all students in low-income countries left school with
basic reading skills, 171 million people could be lifted out
of poverty, which would be equivalent to a 12% cut in
world poverty.
The world is making good progress in this area. According
to a 2014 United Nations Millennium Development Goals
progress report, literacy rates among adults and youths
are on the rise and the gender gap in literacy is narrowing.
But pressing global needs remain:
58 million children worldwide are out of school.
Even after four years of primary schooling, as many as 250
million children cannot read and write.
781 million adults are illiterate.
Bangladesh has made significant development literacy
with about 60 percent population considered literate
although at government it is 71-70 percent. But 40 percent
illiteracy means over 60 million are still illiterate in which
area the Rotarians can make significant contribution and
‘Be Gift to the World’.
