The State of Literacy in South Africa and the Role of Project Literacy as we Commemorate our 50th Anniversary
Literacy is the foundation upon which societies build their future. It empowers individuals to participate fully in
social, economic, and political spheres, driving development and progress. In South Africa, a nation marked by
its rich cultural diversity and historical struggles, the state of literacy has emerged as a pivotal concern.
Addressing this challenge head-on is Project Literacy, an initiative that seeks to illuminate the path towards a
more literate and equitable South Africa.
