The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) estimates that approximately 739 million young people and adults worldwide still lack basic reading and writing skills.
As the world observed International Literacy Day 2026 on September 8th, students at the Nipal Presbyterian Primary School in Tableland marked the occasion through a special literacy outreach programme hosted by the National Institute of Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology (NIHERST).
They read books, listened to stories, built 3-D models and interacted with a range of technological tools provided by NIHERST.
