Egypt is among six winners of UNESCO<\/a>\u2019s International Literacy Prizes for their outstanding literacy program that contributed during the COVID crisis to help students learn to read and write through accessible technologies.<\/p>\n

The winners – that include also C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire, Guatemala, India, Mexico and South Africa – will be honored on the occasion of\u00a0International Literacy Day<\/a>\u00a0(8 September).<\/p>\n

The winning Egyptian program:<\/h4>\n

Egypt was among the winners for Ain Shams University\u2019s online literacy classes for rural areas in Egypt.<\/p>\n

Ain-Shams University was established in 1950, making it the third oldest university in Egypt. The University\u2019s Society Service and Environment Development Department, which works on community development services to poor, marginalized, and needy villages and settlements.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0project uses digital technology in literacy training to empower learners in rural areas of Egypt and participates in the National Literacy Project. It provides educational, economic, and social services and uses incentives and training programs to encourage university students to join the project as literacy teachers. Throughout the COVID-19 crisis, there has been an increased focus on technology and distance learning in the university\u2019s literacy programs, through the use of printed materials, television, text messages and online platforms such as YouTube.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe winning program have literally changed the lives of thousands of children, young people, women and marginalized adults. Literacy empowers individuals and it expands people\u2019s capabilities and freedom of choice,\u201d UNESCO Director General Audrey Azoulay said.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>At least 773 million youth and adults globally still cannot read and write, and 250 million children are failing to acquire basic literacy skills.\u00a0There are more non-literate women than men, and women are also increasingly left behind in the digital environment. This situation is expected to worsen, as COVID-19 school disruptions have caused learning losses. About 23.8 million additional children and youth worldwide may drop out or not have access to school in 2021 due to the pandemic\u2019s economic impact alone.<\/p>\n

The awards will be presented during a virtual\u00a0International Conference<\/a>\u00a0entitled\u00a0\u201cLiteracy for a human-centered recovery: Narrowing the digital divide,\u201d which UNESCO will host on 8 and 9 September.<\/p>\n

The online event will bring together representatives of governments, development partners, experts and educators to\u00a0explore\u00a0how literacy can contribute to building a solid foundation for a human-centered recovery, with a special focus on the interrelation between literacy and the digital skills that half of the world\u2019s population still lacks.<\/p>\n

A special session focusing on inclusive distance and digital learning will be held with the prizewinners on 9 September(1.30pm to 2.45pm CET).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
