WITH the UN International Literacy Day 2025 and the start of the TT academic school year, both of which fall on the same day, September 8, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar SC has called the timing a “wonderful coincidence,” highlighting the importance of both occasions.

“This wonderful coincidence reminds us that literacy is the very key that opens the doors of learning, opportunity, and hope,” she said in a statement on September 7.

“To every child entering school, know that your education is your greatest power.”
