Yesterday, the United Nations commemorated International Literacy Day with the theme “Literacy is the Best Remedy”, which focuses on the importance of literacy in the promotion of global health. The growing incidence of diseases in the world today is being traced to the most fundamental problem of poverty and lack of literacy. Poverty is a hindrance to literacy and education without which people become vulnerable to the increasing hardships from the environment, diseases such as AIDS, malaria and other communicable diseases. In other words, the lack of literacy, a big problem in itself, can lead to even greater problems of society. How can an illiterate person who cannot read or write, or who cannot understand written information, be expected to avoid infection from contagious disease? Hence, the importance of literacy is being underscored as a key factor in preventing poverty, diseases, and other ills of society. Conversely, literacy is the key to sustaining the quality of life of the human race.
