International Literacy Day

The JFLL, as chief advocate for Adult Literacy in Jamaica celebrated International Literacy Day, September 26 with a week of media activities to draw attention to the critical role of Literacy as a promoter of world peace though its effects on every part of human endeavours.

JFLL was not alone in its efforts which were spearheaded internationally by the United Nations Education and Scientific Organisation (UNESCO) under the theme “Literacy for Peace.”

Locally the day was also marked by the Jamaica Library Service and the Ministry of Education.

The JFLL’s efforts were supported by the national media who permitted time and discussions and must be thanked publicly
