Princess Laurentien of the Netherlands at CONFINTEA VI

Princess Laurentien of the Netherlands, UNESCO Special Envoy on Literacy for Development, stressed that real progress can be made by approaching learning and literacy within the wider context of the literacy chain, in which all areas of learning are linked: from early childhood development to reading and writing for young people to adult learning. She called for a scaling-up of efforts, and for work to be undertaken together, avoiding the temptation to compete for attention and funding among different parts of the literacy chain.
