On the 8th of September, 2020, BIPS joined in celebrating International Literacy Day. This year’s International Literacy Day focused on “Literacy teaching and learning in the COVID-19 crisis and beyond,” especially on the role of educators and changing pedagogies. The theme highlights literacy learning in a lifelong learning perspective.
In 1966, UNESCO declared the 8th of September as International Literacy Day. This means that International Literacy Day has been celebrated for over 50 years. UNESCO aims for this day to remind people everywhere that literacy is a human right and is the key to basic education for everyone.
Each class at BIPS demonstrated an appreciation of the International Literacy Day.
