Mr Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
(1) notes that 8 September is International Literacy Day;
(2) further notes that this day is a Unesco initiative which is intended to highlight the importance of literacy throughout the world;
(3) recognises that literacy is a human right as well as a tool of social and human development and that improving literacy levels within our communities is the key to a better educated populace and stronger economy; and
(4) calls upon the leaders of our nation to take measures to address low literacy levels within our country.
Agreed to.
