Summary
 

Near the end of 1987, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 1990 the International Literacy Year. Since Papua New Guinea is a member of the United Nations, several questions naturally come to mind:

 
  • What is literacy?
  • Why did the United Nations designate 1990 to be International Literacy Year?
  • What does that mean for Papua New Guinea?
