UNESCO's primary interest is in sustainable literacy through policy making and strategies that address an "acquisition of basic literacy skills as a foundation of education for all people". They see literacy as a means for the development of society through lifelong learning, empowerment, increased awareness and influence of individuals as a method of building self-confidence and self-esteem.
Reflection: I found a special interest in reading about Second Chance Schools and Family Literacy. I've toyed with the idea of creating a small (urban) community "tutoring" center for children and their families interested in learning basic skills in literacy as well as fine tuning established talent. This is the first time I've been made aware of the UNESCO organization I would like to know more.
