The book provides a critical overview of the literacy debate in academic and general educational discourse; the role of functional literacy in societal development programmes during the past two decades; and a critical evaluation of the issues that surround literacy in an increasingly computer-dominated world.

Literacy for Sustainable Development in the Age of Information

Kathleen Heugh

Sabiha Mansoor

This book examines the role that language-in-education policy, historically, has played in shaping possibilities for development, within countries in the Sub-Saharan and South Asian regions. This discussion takes account also of the complex ways in which language, education and development, are linked to the changing global labour market. Key questions are raised regarding the impact of international policy imperatives on development possibilities.
