The challenges of literacy for all -- Meanings and concepts of adult literacy -- Why literacy for all, not just school children? -- Enabling contexts and learning environments -- Literacy acquisition and teaching-learning approaches -- Evaluating and monitoring literacy approaches -- National policies and strategies -- Conclusions and implications for educational planners.
This publication reviews the meanings of literacy and related concepts within the context of lifelong learning. It analyzes policies and strategies required to improve national literacy rates and develop adult literacy programs (including youths aged 15 and above).The author demonstrates that a combination of factors has contributed to slowing the progress in meeting national and international literacy commitments. Lessons learned over the past decades show that to achieve universal literacy, there is a need for further investment, greater political will, sustainable institutional approaches, and a more creative and holistic methodology.--Publisher´s description.
