The Ministry of Education announced today that in cooperation with the teaching staff in educational institutions, it strives for our children to become educated and literate people in the true sense of the word.

"Literacy is a human right, contained in the right to education and recognized as the first in a series of international conventions. Today, the world celebrates International Literacy Day, which was initiated by UNESCO, founded in September 1965 in Tehran, at the World Conference of Ministers of Education , in order to remind the international community once a year of the importance and status of literacy in the world," the announcement states.

The Ministry of Education added that the digital revolution has expanded the possibilities of acquiring knowledge, but that a good systemic education is still crucial for solving the problem of illiteracy.

"To cultivate literacy, you need love for the language, but also a good school system. We have done a lot to make our education system serve its purpose, but we continue to improve it, aware of the fact that the education system is one of the most important systems of our society and in its hands there is power for the long-term shaping of the social environment," said the Ministry of Education.
