Literacy is more than the ability to read and write.
It involves the knowledge, skills and abilities—the
competencies—that enable individuals to think
critically, communicate effectively, deal with change
and solve problems in a variety of contexts to achieve
their personal goals, develop their knowledge and
potential, and participate fully in society.
