Happy International Literacy Day! We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to learn to read and write. Each year, JEP awards scholarships to needy students and participates in national events such as Read Across Jamaica Day. We also provide sponsorships to NGOs, including Jamaica Association for the Deaf and SOS Jamaica, to ensure that children are literate despite disabilities or financial challenges. This year we celebrate International Literacy Day under the theme ‘Literacy and Multilingualism’, which emphasizes the importance of literacy to individual, national, regional and international development. According to the World Bank (2014), Jamaica’s literacy rate is 88%. No child should be left behind. Help a child to read today! #JEP #WKPP #JPPC #PoweringABrighterFuture #InternationalLiteracyDay #Literacy #Multilingualism #NoChildShouldBeLeftBehind #HelpAChildToRead @unesco Credit @jamaicaenergypartners (at ScholarshipJamaica.com) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2Kir-2BUJI/?igshid=1xrspc12sh4vx
