September 8 - International Literacy Day - one of international days celebrated in the United Nations system. It was established by UNESCO in 1966 on the recommendation of the “World Conference of Ministers of Education for the Eradication of Illiteracy” held in Tehran in September 1965. And the date of celebration, September 8, is the day of the grand opening of this conference.

The main purpose of the Day is to strengthen the international community's efforts to promote literacy, one of UNESCO's main areas of action, as a tool for empowering individuals, communities and communities.

Literacy is a certain degree of a person’s proficiency in reading and writing skills in accordance with the grammatical norms of their native language. One of the basic indicators of socio-cultural development of the population.

Literacy is a true celebration for humanity, which has made impressive progress in this field, bringing the number of literate people in the world to four billion. However, literacy for all - children, youth and adults - is not yet a fully achieved goal.

Despite remarkable progress in many countries, more than 860 million adults remain illiterate and more than 100 million children are out of school. Countless children, young people and adults enrolled in school or other educational programs are not at the level required to be considered literate in today's increasingly complex world.

There is a clear need to develop literacy programs that target groups of students who require special attention, particularly women and girls left behind in school. Where men and boys are denied access to quality education, they also need special attention. Therefore, today's date also allows us to propose innovative ways to solve existing problems aimed at further improving literacy levels in the future.

Today, International Literacy Day is celebrated all over the world. Its celebration brings together governments, multilateral, bilateral and non-governmental organizations, the private sector, communities, as well as educators, students and experts in the field. The Day also recognizes the International Literacy Prizes for people with outstanding ideas to advance literacy to achieve the 2030 Education Agenda. It should also be said that every year Literacy Day is dedicated to a specific topic. So, in different years It was held under the mottos: “The importance of literacy for women”, “Literacy expands personal opportunities”, “Literacy and health”, “Literacy ensures sustainable development”, “Reading the past, writing the future”, “Literacy in the digital world”, etc.

Personal freedom, mutual understanding with the outside world, independence, development of one’s own potential, conflict resolution. All this gives literacy. It even has its own day on the calendar. The whole world celebrates September 8th Literacy Day.
