UNSEEN PASSAGE
Literacy has traditionally been described as the ability to read and write. The United
Nations' Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) defines literacy
as the ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate, compute and
use printed and written materials associated with varying contexts. Literacy involves
learning in enabling individuals to achieve their goals, to develop their knowledge and
potential, and to participate fully in their community and wider society."
It is no longer sufficient to consider whether a student can read' and 'write'. It is
necessary to consider more meaningful aspects of literacy in education and in society as
a whole, if we are to complete the transition we are in.
Many policy analysts consider literacy rates as a crucial measure to enhance a region's
human capital. This claim is made on the grounds that literate people can be trained
less expensively than illiterate people. They generally have a higher socio-economic
status and enjoy better health and employment prospects. Policy makers also argue
that literacy increases job opportunities and access to higher education.
