I think that: Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family.

Because: Literacy is a tool for daily life in modern society. It is a bulwark against poverty, and a building block of development. 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.
