This document discusses the importance of education for national development. It notes that education stimulates human capital development, which advanced countries rely on to utilize natural and financial resources. Most governments allocate 5-6% of GDP to education. Developed European countries view education as crucial to raising skills and adapting to changes. The transition to market economies also demands new skills from populations. While transitional countries lag advanced nations in literacy, strategic reforms can upgrade educational systems to better promote social progress. Objectives of education include developing individuals, society, and the economy through lifelong learning that combines formal and informal programs. An effective strategy requires a long-term vision and coordinated short and medium-term actions.ICDE : The International Council for Open and Distance Education

Self-improvement. Personal growth. These terms often conjure images of intense seminars, complex philosophies, or relentless positivity. But what if the path to becoming a better, happier you was paved with wit, sarcasm, and a healthy dose of existential absurdity? Enter Woody Allen, the iconic filmmaker and comedian whose neurotic musings, surprisingly, offer profound insights into navigating the human condition. Forget the forced Zen; sometimes, the deepest growth sprouts from acknowledging lifes inherent ridiculousness, just like Woody does.Personal Development about Thinking and Emotions

Literacy is cool
- 1. Literacy noun noun: literacy the ability to read and write
- 2. Understanding of Literacy At first glance, literacy would seem to be a term that everyone understands. But at the same time, literacy as a concept has proved to be both complex and dynamic, continuing to be interpreted and defined in a multiplicity of ways.
- 3. Actions Taken In addition to efforts to improve levels of literacy in the EU through its 'Europe Loves Reading' campaign, the European Commission is also at the forefront of action to tackle the problem in the world's developing countries. Since 2007, the Commission has invested 4 billion on education and literacy in 48 partner countries, enabling more than 9 million pupils to enrol in school and more than 720 000 primary teachers to receive training. The European Commission supports literacy through its support to the national education strategies as sector budget support, pooled funding or project support. The EU is committed to education: the Agenda for Change recognises our commitment to education and the need to enable young people everywhere to have access to quality education.
- 4. Facts about Literacy According to the estimates by the United States Department of Labor, literacy problems cost the United States businesses about $225 billion a year in lost productivity 2.2 million people each year (44,000 people each week) are added to the adult illiterate population in the Untied States.
