The correct answer is: B. 2001 – 2010
The United Nations Literacy Decade was a decade-long initiative launched by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 2003. The goal of the decade was to promote literacy and adult learning around the world. The decade was officially launched on September 8, 2003, at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris.
The decade was divided into two phases: the first phase, from 2003 to 2007, focused on increasing awareness of the importance of literacy and adult learning; the second phase, from 2008 to 2010, focused on implementing concrete actions to promote literacy and adult learning.
The United Nations Literacy Decade was a success in many ways. It helped to raise awareness of the importance of literacy and adult learning, and it led to the implementation of many concrete actions to promote these goals. However, there are still many challenges to be overcome in the fight against illiteracy. According to UNESCO, over 750 million adults around the world are illiterate. This means that they cannot read or write, and they are often excluded from participating in society fully.
The United Nations Literacy Decade has helped to make progress in the fight against illiteracy, but there is still much work to be done. We must continue to raise awareness of the importance of literacy and adult learning, and we must continue to implement concrete actions to promote these goals. Only then can we ensure that everyone has the opportunity to learn and to participate fully in society.
The other options are incorrect because they are not the correct decade that was celebrated as United Nations Literacy Decade.
