“Literacy
is the ability to identify, understand, interpret,
create, communicate and compute, using printed and
written materials associated with varying contexts.
Literacy involves a continuum of learning in enabling
individuals to achieve his or her goals, develop his
or her knowledge and potentials, and participate fully
in the community and wider society."
