One of the goals of Rotary is to strengthen the capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy, reduce gender disparity in education, and increase adult literacy.
Our meeting this morning as we kicked off Literacy month, was ‘Lit' as our Literacy Chair would say. Our speaker, Dr. Norrisa Newton from the University of the Bahamas spoke on the topic, Closing the Gap, “How Relevant is Literacy at the Collegiate Level”. It was well presented, thought provoking and sparked lively discussion. We can all agree on the point that was made during Dr. Newton’s presentation that, “the quality of the state depends on the quality of the education the members of the state receive”.
We can’t wait to see what our Literacy Chair has in store for the remainder of the month!
