To mark International Literacy Day 2026, Tent2School joined the Adamawa State Ministry of Education, the Education in Emergencies Working Group, CSOs, development partners and other stakeholders for a press conference reflecting on this year’s theme, “Literacy for People, the Planet and Prosperity.”
As the world marks 60 years of International Literacy Day, an estimated 739 million young people and adults still lack basic literacy skills, with women disproportionately affected.
At Tent2School, we believe literacy is foundational to learning, participation and opportunity. For children affected by conflict and displacement, this also means ensuring that disruption does not become the end of their education.
There is progress to celebrate, but millions are still waiting for the opportunity to read, learn and thrive.
Literacy must remain within everyone’s reach.
