Literacy

Literacy training is the acquisition of the knowledge and basic competencies that each individual needs in a rapidly evolving world. It is a fundamental human right and involves learning the written code (reading and writing) and basic arithmetic, and acquiring an elementary knowledge of computing.

Literacy training is a constantly changing concept which adapts to the realities of the societies in which illiterate individuals live.

Its prime purpose is to enable all individuals to fulfil their role as citizens, in all its dimensions: access to the labour force, accompaniment of children in their schooling, participation in democratic life, social commitment, and so on.

Literacy training can ultimately lead individuals to supplement their training in different fields.
