Literacy is most commonly defined as the ability to read and write.
Across the Cook Islands, Literacy Week takes place from September 5 to 9, 2022. This year’s International Literacy Day will be held on September 8 under the theme, “Transforming Literacy Learning Spaces”.
Cook Islands schools are celebrating literacy as the foundation of all learning with a range of activities this week.
