International Literacy Day 2025: Promoting Literacy in the Digital Era

International Literacy Day is observed annually on September 8th to raise awareness of the importance of literacy as a matter of dignity and human rights. In 2025, the theme "Promoting Literacy in the Digital Era" emphasizes the need to reimagine literacy for the 21st century, where digital tools, access to technology, and inclusive learning platforms have become central to literacy acquisition. As Nigeria grapples with significant literacy challenges—especially among out-of-school children, displaced populations, and rural communities—this podcast aims to spotlight how digital transformation can be harnessed to bridge literacy gaps and promote inclusive foundational learning for all.
