Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope. It is a tool for daily life in modern society. It is a bulwark against poverty and a building block of development, an essential complement to investments in roads, dams, clinics and factories. …For everyone, everywhere, literacy is a basic human right.
UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, International Literacy Day, 8 September 1997
