The first thing we have to determine before entering fully into the meaning of the term literacy is that it has a clear etymological origin. It derives from Greek, since it is the result of the following components of that language:
-The letter \"alpha\".
-The letter \"beta\".
-The suffix \u201c-cion\u201d, which is used to indicate \u201caction and effect\u201d.<\/p>\n

The term literacy<\/strong> alludes to process and outcome of literacy<\/strong>. Is action<\/strong> (literacy), meanwhile, is usually linked to the activity that is developed so that a person can learn to write and read.<\/p>\n

\"Literacy\"Is named literacy<\/strong> both to teaching act<\/strong> as to the acquired capacity<\/strong> by the subject who can write and read on his own. It is a basic and essential instruction to integrate into society, since without this knowledge it is almost impossible for a person<\/strong> can access a well-paid job with the possibility of growth. Literacy is also necessary so that the subject can defend and exercise their rights.<\/p>\n

It is important to establish that literacy occupies a very important role within UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization). Specifically, it makes the following statements:
-It is a fundamental right.
-Determine that, in addition, it becomes the learning base that any person has throughout their entire life. And it is that it becomes essential both in its social and human development.
-In addition, it is also indicated that it becomes a vital and essential resource in the development of the world.
-It has even created the International Literacy Prizes that have been awarded since 1967.<\/p>\n

It is no less important to know that the aforementioned UNESCO has been working for more than 60 years to ensure that literacy is the key element in the different education programs that are carried out internationally or in different countries in particular. <\/p>\n

In addition to all that we have indicated, we cannot ignore the fact that September 8 is International Literacy Day. <\/p>\n

The opposite of literacy is the illiteracy<\/strong>: who does not know how to write or read is illiterate. It must be borne in mind, however, that a human being may have the ability to write basic words or messages and to read simple texts, but nevertheless not have the necessary skills to analyze and understand precisely what he reads. In this case, despite having a certain level of literacy, the subject will be classified as functional illiterate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In the modern world, literacy is not enough for a person to progress since additional knowledge is required in the labor market and in other areas (such as mastery of computers or another language beyond one's own). That is why notions such as the idea of digital literacy<\/strong>, related to the teaching of the use of computers (computers) and Internet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n
