Commissioner Vassiliou said: "We are witnessing a paradox: while reading and writing is more necessary than ever in the context of our digital world, literacy skills are inadequate. We urgently need to reverse this alarming situation. Investment in improving literacy among citizens of all ages is cost effective as it produces tangible benefits for individuals and society, which in the long run could reach billions of euros."
In turn, Princess Laurentien added that reading and writing is much more a technique than a skill. "Literacy is related to people's self-esteem and their ability to operate and flourish as individuals in society, as active citizens, as workers or parents. We need clear, coordinated strategies, and much better awareness across Europe, not only in circles of politics and education, but also in hospitals, workplaces, and especially the families. It is time for Europe to increase its level of ambition and to ensure literacy for all”, she said.
