UNESCO organizes online webinar on literacy in Bangladesh on Sept 20
UNESCO Dhaka Office will organize an Online Webinar on Literacy for a Human-centered Recovery in Bangladesh September 20.
The online webinar is a side event of the global celebration of the International Literacy Day (ILD) 2021. Amid the pandemic, the ILD 2021 is celebrated under the theme “Literacy for a human-centered recovery: Narrowing the digital divide” to uphold the right to literacy and foster a resilient system for the acquisition of literacy and digital skills.
The Covid-19 pandemic has affected millions of learners in Bangladesh with a long school closure. This situation has accelerated efforts in deploying distance learning to maintain learning continuity. Semi- and non-literate young people and adults who tend to face intersecting disadvantages are at higher risk of being left behind.
At the critical juncture of reopening all educational institutions in Bangladesh as of 12 September, this online webinar will convene both international and national literacy stakeholders including government officials, experts, facilitators, learners, representatives of development partners and NGOs.
The webinar is meant to share good practices in literacy learning and teaching in high-tech, low-tech and no-tech scenarios in the challenging times of Covid-19; explore the interplay between literacy and digital skills and how digital skills can be meaningfully integrated into literacy programs; discuss the necessary measures to address literacy learning losses; and build partnerships for establishing a resilient system for the acquisition of literacy and digital skills.
The webinar will take place on the Zoom platform with interpretation between English and Bangla.
