English and literacy

"If there is a full rich literacy for everyone, we can discover what literacy is good for. It's what people do with their reading and writing that is important. Language makes so many things possible." - Margaret Meek

"Literacy arouses hopes, not only in society as a whole but also in the individual who is striving for fulfilment, happiness and personal benefit by learning how to read and write. Literacy...means far more than learning how to read and write...The aim is to transmit ...knowledge and promote social participation."  - UNESCO Institute for Education
