Literacy is one of the fundamental elements needed for sustainable development, helping people make good decisions about economic growth, social development and environmental integration.

This is to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. The goal is for all young people and a significant proportion of adults, both men and women, to be able to read and count by 2030.

According to UNESCO, despite increases in literacy rates over the past 50 years, there are still 750 million illiterate adults worldwide and 250 million children unable to acquire basic skills.

Since 2000, adult literacy rates have improved, reaching 85.3% globally, but sub-Saharan Africa and South and West Asia continue to have the lowest rates.

Literacy among youth aged 15 to 24 years has now reached 90.6% due to the availability of school education.

Women make up two thirds of all illiterate adults - 63%, young women make up 59% of illiterate youth.

The 2017 International Literacy Day theme will be “Digital Literacy”.

During the first centuries of their existence, the pagan Slavs did not know writing. True, there is evidence that they tried to create it and even used “lines and cuts,” that is, some kind of icons. But the fact remains: Slavic writing was created and began to spread only after the adoption of Christianity.

Why did Slavic writing arise (conversation)
- What do you think was the connection between the emergence of writing among the Slavs and their adoption of Christianity?

How were books made in Russia until the mid-16th century? (Book printing appeared in our country in 1564. The first printer was Ivan Fedorov.)
- How do you understand the expression “read the book from blackboard to blackboard”?
-What did the ancient books look like?
- Could a poor person in Rus' afford to buy a book? Why?
- What were the rules for handling books in Ancient Rus'?

Which of these rules have survived to this day?

Watching a movie “Writing and books in Rus'”
