(WAM) “” The UN has invited all those involved in education to redouble their investments and mobilise all their resources to unleash the potential of each individual in the service of a shared world, stated Audrey Azoulay, UNESCO Director General, on the occasion of International Literacy Day.

“In celebrating International Literacy Day, we recall the fundamental right of everyone to develop the basic skills to read the world and write its future.
