Literacy & Education

Learning is not attained by chance. It must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence.
-- Abigail Adams

"Everyone deserves the best start in life, which is what UNICEF is working to provide the world's most vulnerable children. Education is essential to a child's development. I hope that as an Ambassador I can encourage people to join UNICEF's mission to make education a reality for children throughout the world."
-- Clay Aiken

It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.
-- Maya Angelou

Literacy unlocks the door to learning throughout life, is essential to development and health, and opens the way for democratic participation and active citizenship."
~ Kofi Annan

Acquiring literacy is an empowering process, enabling millions to enjoy access to knowledge and information which broadens horizons, increases opportunities and creates alternatives for building a better life.
~ Kofi Annan

'literacy is at the heart of sustainable development'
~ Kofi Annan

On this International Literacy Day, let us recall that literacy for all is an integral part of education for all, and that both are critical for achieving truly sustainable development for all.
~ Kofi Annan

"Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope. It is a tool for daily life in modern society. It is a bulwark against poverty, and a building block of development, an essential complement to investments in roads, dams, clinics and factories. Literacy is a platform for democratization, and a vehicle for the promotion of cultural and national identity. Especially for girls and women, it is an agent of family health and nutrition. For everyone, everywhere, literacy is, along with education in general, a basic human right.... Literacy is, finally, the road to human progress and the means through which every man, woman and child can realize his or her full potential."
~ Kofi Annan

"Education is a human right with immense power to transform. On its foundation rest the cornerstones of freedom, democracy and sustainable human development."
~ Kofi Annan

Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family."
~ Kofi Annan

 

"These children and their parents know that getting an education is not only their right, but a passport to a better future - for the children and for the country."
-- Harry Belafonte

"Creating a world that is truly fit for children does not imply simply the absence of war. It means having the confidence that our children would not die of measles or malaria. It means having access to clean water and proper sanitation. It means having primary schools nearby that educate children, free of charge. It means changing the world with children, ensuring their right to participate, and that their views are heard and considered. It means building a world fit for children, where every child can grow to adulthood in health, peace and dignity."
-- Carol Bellamy

Think about it: Every educated person is not rich, but almost every education person has a job and a way out of poverty. So education is a fundamental solution to poverty.
-- Governor Kathleen Blanco

"Education makes a people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern but impossible to enslave."
-- Baron Henry Peter Brougham

 
Peace is no mere matter of men fighting or not fighting. Peace, to have meaning for many who have known only suffering in both peace and war, must be translated into bread or rice, shelter, health, and education, as well as freedom and human dignity - a steadily better life. If peace is to be secure, long-suffering and long-starved, forgotten peoples of the world, the underprivileged and the undernourished, must begin to realize without delay the promise of a new day and a new life.
-- Ralph J. Bunche

“The aim of education is the knowledge, not of facts, but of values.”
-- William S. Boroughs

It is possible to store the mind with a million facts and still be entirely uneducated.
-- Alec Bourne

"Literacy is not a luxury, it is a right and a responsibility. If our world is to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century we must harness the energy and creativity of all our citizens."
- President Bill Clinton on International Literacy Day, September 8th 1994

Change does not necessarily assure progress, but progress implacably requires change.
Education is essential to change, for education creates both new wants and the ability to satisfy them.
-- Henry Steele Commager

we cannot afford to settle for being just average; we must leran as much as we can to be the best that we can. The key word is education -- education with maximum effort. Without it, we cannot be in charge of ourselves or anyone else.
-- Bill Cosby

"The new education must be less concerned with sophistication than compassion. It must recognize the hazards of tribalism. It must teach man the most difficult lesson of all—to look at someone anywhere in the world and be able to see the image of himself. The old emphasis upon superficial differences that separate peoples must give way to education for citizenship in the human community. With such an education and with such self-understanding, it is possible that some nation or people may come forward with the vital inspiration that men need no less than food. Leadership on this higher level does not require mountains of gold or thundering propaganda. It is concerned with human destiny. Human destiny is the issue. People will respond."
-- Norman Cousins
"Peace does not fare well where poverty and deprivation reign. It does not flourish where there is ignorance and a lack of education and information. Repression, injustice and exploitation are inimical with peace. Peace is gravely threatened by inter-group fear and envy and by the unleashing of unrealistic expectations. Racial, class and religious intolerance and prejudice are its mortal enemies."
-- Frederik W. de Klerk

* We live in a complex world and the motivation to use violence to solve problems needs to be seriously questioned. It is essential that we help our children perceive peaceful alternatives. We need to use these troubled times as an opportunity to create a new vision for the future.
-- Naomi Drew

“Education is that whole system of human training within and without the school house walls, which molds and develops men.”
-- W. E. B. DuBois

W. E. B. Du Bois: “Education must not simply teach work - it must teach Life.

“Education must not simply teach work - it must teach Life.” -- W. E. B. Du Bois

 

We now accept the fact that learning is a lifelong process of keeping abreast of change. And the most pressing task is to teach people how to learn.
-- Peter F. Drucker

Just because a child's parents are poor or uneducated is no reason to deprive the child of basic human rights to health care, education and proper nutrition.
-- Marian Wright Edelman

 

"We must inoculate our children against militarism, by educating them in the spirit of pacifism... Our schoolbooks glorify war and conceal its horrors. They indoctrinate children with hatred. I would teach peace rather than war, love rather than hate."
-- Albert Einstein

“Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death”
-- Albert Einstein

Only the educated are free.
-- Epictetus

* Unicef's education initiative does not seek to impose, but to initiate and integrate. It does, however, aim to address the huge bias towards education for boys at the expense of girls in so many cultures.
-- Ralph Fiennes

 

Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one.
-- Malcolm Forbes

"A nation of well informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the region of ignorance that tyranny begins."
-- Benjamin Franklin

An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you do know and what you don't.
-- Anatole France

 

Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world.
--
Paulo Freire

"People are the common denominator of progress. So... no improvement is possible with unimproved people, and advance is certain when people are liberated and educated. It would be wrong to dismiss the importance of roads, railroads, power plants, mills,and the other familiar furniture of economic development.... But we are coming to realize... that there is a certain sterility in economic monuments that stand alone in a sea of illiteracy. Conquest of illiteracy comes first."
-- John Kenneth Galbraith, The Affluent Society (1958)

 

"The ultimate object of education should be, Gandhi said, to help create not only a balanced and harmonious individual but also a balanced and harmonious society where true justice prevails, where there is no unnatural division between the "haves" and the "have-nots," and where everybody is assured of a living wage and the right to live and the right to freedom."
-- Arun Gandhi

"If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children."
-- Mohandas K. Gandhi

"Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which neither freedom nor justice can be permanently maintained."
-- James A. Garfield (1880)

 

"If we talk about literacy, we have to talk about how to enhance our children's mastery over the tools needed to live intelligent, creative, and involved lives."
-- Danny Glover

"Since every effort in our educational life seems to be directed toward making of the child a being foreign to itself, it must of necessity produce individuals foreign to one another, and in everlasting antagonism with each other.”
-- Emma Goldman

“The most violent element in society is ignorance.”

-- Emma Goldman

* No one has yet fully realized the wealth of sympathy, kindness and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure."

-- Emma Goldman

No one has ever died, from an overexposure to education.
-- Robert M. Hensel

We have ignored cultural literacy in thinking about education We ignore the air we breathe until it is thin or foul. Cultural literacy is the oxygen of social intercourse. -- E. D. Hirsch, Jr.

"...the anxiety children feel at constantly being tested, their fear of failure, punishment, and disgrace, severely reduces their ability both to perceive and to remember, and drives them away from the material being studied into strategies for fooling teachers into thinking they know what they really don't know."
-- John Holt

"If you look back in history, you will find the core mission of public education in America was to create places of civic virtue for our children and for our society. As education undergoes the rigors of re-examination and the need for reinvention, it is cruicial to remember that the key role of public schools is to preserve democracy and, that as battered as we might be, our mission is central to the future of this county."
-- Paul D. Houston, Executive director of the American Association of School Administrators

Bigotry is the disease of ignorance, of morbid minds; enthusiasm of the free and buoyant. Education and free discussion are the antidotes of both.
-- Thomas Jefferson

* "Having visited Oxfam-funded school programs in rural communities has made me realise how vital education is to developing countries in bringing people out of poverty and giving them a sense of dignity, self-worth and confidence."
-- Scarlett Johansson

"I'm not a statistician, but it doesn't take a genious to work out that 100 million children being denied an education is ridiculous. There is nothing lost in translation here, it's obvious that's wrong.
-- Scarlett Johansson

Just remember the world is not a playground but a schoolroom. Life is not a holiday but an education. One eternal lesson for us all: to teach us how better we should love.
-- Barbara Jordan

* "The highest result of education is tolerance."
-- Helen Keller (1903)

"Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength for our nation."
-- John F. Kennedy

Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.
-- John F. Kennedy

"Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. The human mind is our fundamental resource."
-- John F. Kennedy

 

We teach academic subjects and we assume life skills will somehow be acquired along the way. Not a safe assumption! The curriculum has to include things like communication, conflict resolution, parenting, family dynamics, critical thinking, values, ethics.
-- Azim Khamisa

* "Peace is a culture that we create by putting it in the curriculum for young people, through creating this next generation where young people get a chance to go across borders, across cultures, to learn more about each other's life, to create a global community, learn about opportunities for helping others. It's investing in peace and tolerance training, ending the gap between rich and poor."
-- Craig Kielburger

Remember that consciousness is power. Consciousness is education and knowledge. Consciousness is becoming aware. It is the perfect vehicle for students. Consciousness-raising is pertinent for power, and be sure that power will not be abusively used, but used for building trust and goodwill domestically and internationally. Tomorrow's world is yours to build.
-- Yuri Kochiyama

There are all kinds of things you can do to marry literacy with health.
-- C. Everett Koop

The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.
-- Diogenes Laertius

* That everyone may receive at least a moderate education appears to be an objective of vital importance."
-- Abraham Lincoln

"Upon the subject of education, not presuming to dictate any plan or system respecting it, I can only say that I view it as the most important subject which we as a people may be engaged in. That everyone may receive at least a moderate education appears to be an objective of vital importance."
-- Abraham Lincoln

Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours.
-- John Locke

The improvement of understanding is for two ends: first, our own increase of knowledge; secondly, to enable us to deliver that knowledge to others.
-- John Locke

Education begins the gentleman, but reading, good company and reflection must finish him.
-- John Locke

"The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn."
~ John Lubbock

Obviously, every child should be given the best possible opportunity to acquire literacy skills.
-- Hugh Mackay

Parents should be encouraged to read to their children, and teachers should be equipped with all available techniques for teaching literacy, so the varying needs and capacities of individual kids can be taken into account.
-- Hugh Mackay

Universal literacy was a 20th-century goal. Before then, reading and writing were skills largely confined to a small, highly educated class of professional people.
-- Hugh Mackay

 

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
-- Nelson Mandela

* “I don't think anybody anywhere can talk about the future of their people or of an organization without talking about education. Whoever controls the education of our children controls our future.”

-- Koďchiro Matsuura, UNESCO Director-General

International Literacy Day is an occasion to celebrate the importance of literacy to individuals, communities and societies everywhere
-- Koďchiro Matsuura, UNESCO Director-General

It is intolerable that around 1 in 5 of the world's adults are illiterate. How can we build equitable information societies or thriving democracies if so many remain without the basic tools of literacy?
-- Koďchiro Matsuura, UNESCO Director-General

it is inconceivable that poverty eradication can make much headway in the absence of major advances in literacy.
-- Koďchiro Matsuura, UNESCO Director-General

Achieving the right to basic education for all is thus one of the biggest moral challenges of our times.
-- Koďchiro Matsuura, UNESCO Director-General

A literate world is a possible and desirable one. There are enough resources. What is now needed is the collective will of the international community to ensure that the necessary support is forthcoming.
-- Koďchiro Matsuura, UNESCO Director-General

 

I'd rather teach peace.
-- Colman McCarthy

Unless we teach children peace, someone else will teach them violence.
-- Colman McCarthy

"Children not only have to learn what their parents learned in school, but also have to learn how to learn. This has to be recognized as a new problem which is only partly solved."
~ Margaret Mead (1901-1978) US anthropologist, author, environmentalist.

"...Why is compassion not part of our established curriculum, an inherent part of our education? Compassion, awe, wonder, curiosity, exaltation, humility - these are the very foundation of any real civilisation, no longer the prerogatives, the preserves of any one church, but belonging to everyone, every child in every school."
-- Yehudi Menuhin

"Literacy is not, as it is considered in our schools, a PORTION of education. It IS education. It is at once the ability AND the inclination of the mind to find knowledge, to pursue understanding, and out of knowledge and understanding, not out of received attitudes and values or emotional responses, however worthy, to make judgments."
-- Richard Mitchell

 

““One test of the correctness of educational procedure is the happiness of the child.”
Maria Montessori

Establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all politics can do is keep us out of war.”

-- Barack Obama

* Education is a vaccine for violence.
-- Edward James Olmos

"The principle goal of education is to create men who are capable of doing new things, not simply of repeating what other generations have done - men who are creative, inventive and discoverers"
-- Jean Piaget (Swiss Psychologist and pioneer in the study of child intelligence, 1896-1980)

 

* Thinking about how the world might be and envisioning a society characterized by justice are the essence of conceptualizing the conditions that comprise positive peace. If we are to educate for peace, both teachers and students need to have some notion of the transformed world we are educating for.
-- Betty Reardon

"Higher education isn’t just a personal investment. It’s a public good that pays off in a more competitive workforce and better-informed and engaged citizens. Every year, we spend nearly $100 billion on corporate welfare, and more than $500 billion on defense spending. Surely ensuring the next generation can compete in the global economy is at least as important as subsidies for big business and military adventures around the globe. In fact, I think we can and must go further — not just making public higher education tuition-free, but reinventing education in America as we know it. "
~ Robert Reich

are we doing enough to help our children create a more peaceful world?
-- Debbie Robins

What is truly more important, how our children do on standardized tests or what kind of human beings they are and will become? I believe it is our obligation, as mothers, to get peace into our classrooms so our children can study, learn and practice peace. Then, and only then, can we rest assured they will fulfill their divine destinies as peacemakers and the world will become a more peaceful place.
-- Debbie Robins

our children are viscerally aware of the heightened violence on this planet. It has permeated every aspect of their lives. They are hungry to make a difference, desperate to affect their reality in a positive way, but they are unsure of how to do it.
-- Debbie Robins

What is the solution? To make peace a class, in every school, at every grade level, in classrooms all over the world so our children can learn the 'art' of getting along, which isn't easy, reflected by the current state of the world
-- Debbie Robins

* Tolerance, respect and patience are acquired skills, they are learned attributes, practiced choices, and until our children begin to study, learn and practice peace, I believe this is as good as it gets.
-- Debbie Robins

"It is because modern education is so seldom inspired by a great hope that it so seldom achieves great results. The wish to preserve the past rather than the hope of creating the future dominates the minds of those who control the teaching of the young. "
-- Bertrand Russell

Education is critical for people to become compassionate. If you don't know the problem and you don't know the reality, how can you help?
-- Marla Ruzicka

"One of the greatest gifts adults can give -- to their offspring and to their society -- is to read to children."
-- Carl Sagan

* Our species needs, and deserves, a citizenry with minds wide awake and a basic understanding of how the world works.
-- Carl Sagan

In every country, we should be teaching our children the scientific method and the reasons for a Bill of Rights. With it comes a certain decency, humility and community spirit. In the demon-haunted world that we inhabit by virtue of being human, this may be all that stands between us and the enveloping darkness.
-- Carl Sagan

"We have got to make sure that every qualified American in this country who wants to go to college can go to college -- regardless of income."
~ Sen. Bernie Sanders

"Education should be a right, not a privilege. We need a revolution in the way that the United States funds higher education."
~ Sen. Bernie Sanders

"Every person in this country who has the desire and ability should be able to get all the education they need regardless of the income of their family. This is not a radical idea. In Germany, Scandinavia and many other countries, higher education is either free or very inexpensive. We must do the same."
~ Sen. Bernie Sanders

"In Germany, college tuition is free. In America, college tuition is increasingly unaffordable. In a highly competitive global economy, which country do you think will have the best educated work force and a competitive advantage? We must make tuition free in public colleges and universities and substantially reduce interest rates on student loans."
~ Sen. Bernie Sanders

"How can the United States be competitive globally if higher education is unaffordable? Germany, Austria, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Scotland and Sweden have no tuition for college. Other countries have low tuition. We need the best educated workforce in the world. Instead of spending endless amounts on the military, we need to invest in our young people."
~ Sen. Bernie Sanders

* Imparting education not only enlightens the receiver, but also broadens the giver - the teachers, the parents, the friends.
-- Amartya Sen

 

we must go on fighting for basic education for all, but also emphasize the importance of the content of education. We have to make sure that sectarian schooling does not convert education into a prison, rather than being a passport to the wide world.
-- Amartya Sen

The elimination of ignorance, of illiteracy... and of needless inequalities in opportunities (is) to be seen as objectives that are valued for their own sake. They expand our freedom to lead the lives we have reason to value, and these elementary capabilities are of importance on their own
-- Amartya Sen

* "We know that many boys and girls leave school because of poverty, because they have to work. However, there are an important number of children who abandon their studies because of the abuses they're subject to by teachers and their own parents."
-- Shakira

* Poverty and lack of knowledge must be challenged.
-- Russell Simmons

Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.
-- B. F. Skinner

The great aim of education is not knowledge but action.
-- Herbert Spencer

"The illiterate of the 21st centurywill not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn."
-- Alvin Toffler

 

What makes me angry? The education of children. How in God's name can you expect to have a functioning society the way we teach our kids?
-- Kathleen Turner

Because there is global insecurity, nations are engaged in a mad arms race, spending billions of dollars wastefully on instruments of destruction, when millions are starving. And yet, just a fraction of what is extended so obscenely on defense budgets would make a real difference in enabling God's children to fill their stomachs, be educated, and be given the chance to lead fulfilled and happy lives.
-- Desmond Tutu

* ...just a fraction of what is extended so obscenely on defense budgets would make a real difference in enabling God's children to fill their stomachs, be educated, and be given the chance to lead fulfilled and happy lives.
-- Desmond Tutu

“College students today are drowning in debt, and it is hurting them and hurting our economy. We must find a way to help families pay for college without condemning them to a lifetime of indebtedness."
~ Elizabeth Warren

-- Alice Waters

 


"To have a peaceful population, we must teach peace."
-- Cora Weiss

Education and democracy have the same goal: the fullest possible development of human capabilities.
-- Paul Wellstone

-- Kanye West

Education is the mother of leadership.
-- Wendell Wilkie

Only that education deserves emphatically to be termed cultivation of the mind which teaches young people how to begin to think.
-- Mary Wollstonecraft

“Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the world's work, and the power to appreciate life.”
-- Brigham Young

"Literacy arouses hopes, not only in society as a whole but also in the individual who is striving for fulfilment, happiness and personal benefit by learning how to read and write. Literacy... means far more than learning how to read and write... The aim is to transmit... knowledge and promote social participation."
-- UNESCO Institute for Education, Hamburg
