Literacy

Literacy is the ability to read, write, and understand written language, extending to skills in interpreting and communicating information. It includes digital literacy, or using technology to access and create content, and media literacy, which is evaluating information from various media sources.

Literacy is vital for education, employment, and social empowerment, enabling informed decision-making and active participation. Societies with higher literacy rates enjoy economic growth and better overall well-being. Improving literacy in all its forms is crucial for personal and societal progress.
