Today, Sep 8, 2024, The Whole World is celebrating 58th International Literacy Day. Declared by UNESCO, on Oct 26, 1966. Celebrated for the first time on Sep 8, 1967. Purpose, to highlight the importance of literacy as a matter of dignity and human rights. This year's theme, Promoting Multilingual Education: Literacy for Mutual Understanding and Peace.
But are we Really Literate? What is The Real Literacy? Is Education all about only Reading, Writing and Understanding? Is that all? No. Education is not just the ability to read and write but also a complete process of human transformation. And, where is that Human Transformation? Schools, Colleges, Society, where?
As a School Teacher, a student of mine denied to write the content in his notebook saying, "Ma'am! It's Too Hot! I'll complete it later." As a College Student, I saw one of my classmates Only During Exams!!!! And, as a Citizen, I am seeing cases like Dr. Moumita Debnath. Where is The Real Literacy, The Real Education? Actually, No Where!!!! Unfortunate but True.
For Parents, it's High Time, to Wake Up from the belief, "My Child can Never Be Wrong." Stop closing your eyes towards your child's mistakes, wrong doings and indiscipline behavior. Grand Parents also need to do this. They need to understand that Love doesn't mean Illogical Support. Such Love is Poisonous. Not just for your own child but also for the whole society. Cases like Dr. Moumita are results of such Poisonous Love Only. Education Creates not just a Literate but also a Sustainable Society.
Learn and Teach To Be A Human.
