International Literacy Day: Govt now targets 100pc literacy by 2030
Around 24.40 percent of people aged 15 and older are still illiterate even though the ruling Awami League in its 2008 election manifesto promised to eradicate illiteracy by 2014. The National Education Policy 2010, framed by the AL-led government in 2009, also set a target of ensuring 100 percent literacy by 2014.
