Literacy for a human-centered recovery: Narrowing the digital divide”

Essay

In the modern era of literacy we have a lot ideas concerning of these like. Like literacy is not
only an education, but a unique and powerful tool for eradicating poverty and a powerful tool for
social and human progress. Literacy empowers and improves life by expanding the ability of
individuals to choose a way of life that they can understand. However, the pandemic reminds us of
the vital importance of literacy. So in my research the literacy for a human-centered recovery:
Narrowing the digital divide it was declared by UNESCO as International Literacy Day on September
8, 1966, it emphasized the importance of individual, community and social literacy abilities and the
need for collaborative efforts to improve social literacy rates. Bangladesh is watching a very
important day. This is an annual awareness-raising day that emphasizes the importance of literacy
for all countries and cultures. Still, 750 million adults around the world are illiterate, most of them
women.

According to UNICEF, the first day of school has been "deferred indefinitely" for 140 million
first-year students worldwide. For the past two years, the world has been trembling with the
emergence of a coronavirus pandemic. With COVID19, the first day of children, a milestone for the
youngest students and their parents around the world, is delayed for an estimated 140 million
children. The pandemic also widened the inequality gap and disproportionately hit 737 million young
people and adults who were illiterate. An estimated 8 million of these students lived in a closed
school during the pandemic, so it took more than 144418 months to wait for the first day of face-to-
face learning. This includes approximately 4 million first-time learners from the Philippines, whose
educational institutions have been closed since March 17, 2020. This is the closure of the second
longest COVID 19 School in the world.

However, the literacy is threatened as the COVID 19 pandemic causes unprecedented


disruption in education, affecting more than 90% of the world's student population. Despite efforts by
governments and various organizations to deal with the ongoing crisis, thousands of children (often
the poorest and most marginalized) do not have access to distance learning. Children have access
to distance learning materials, but many children do not educate their parents to help them.
International Literacy Day 2021 focuses specifically on the interaction of literacy and the digital skills
used by illiterate young people and adults, and how literacy lays a solid foundation for human-
centered recovery. And the he purpose of these is to find out if it helps. It also aims to find reasons
to make technology-enhanced literacy learning inclusive and meaningful and not leave anyone
behind. Thus, 2021 could be an opportunity to advocate future literacy education and learning, both
inside and outside the context of the COVID19 pandemic. International Literacy Day 2021 focuses
on changes in educator roles and educational practices, and on literacy education and learning since
the COVID 19 crisis. Lastly, this year, this day is more important than ever for teachers and is a
sustainable approach to the challenges of literacy education that COVID 19 poses and the education
that may be adopted. The education institutions already plans to reopen school on next school year I
guess for face-to-face learning, and the learning gap already created by this pandemic needs to be
addressed immediately. If this is not done, some children may never be able to catch up. We urge
the government to focus on three key priorities for school recovery. Help teachers correct learning
losses and integrate digital technology into their lessons. We need to help all children return to
school at a safe time and strengthen their education system so that they are well educated and have
a chance for a better future.
