  27/09/2006 - In a message opening the ceremony, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf’s called upon her countrymen to “make Liberia a literate society of free citizens capable of thinking for themselves”.
   
 

Literach Day-liberia.jpgInternational Literacy Day was celebrated in Liberia’s capital city of Monrovia on 8 September 2006. Copies of the Education for All Global Monitoring Report 2006 – Literacy for Life – were available to participants, along with the Summary Report and a regional overview for Africa. President Sirleaf referred to Liberia’s very high illiteracy rate of about seventy percent, which she described as a stumbling block to national development.

Dr Ahmed Ferej, who represented UNESCO’s director general for the occasion and is responsible for UNESCO’s field office in Liberia, drew repeatedly on information from the 2006 Report to paint a picture of educational needs and achievements in Africa. He spoke on the theme “Literacy Sustains Development” and was the subject of an article in the local newspaper.
