Globally there are over 781 million adults worldwide who cannot read or write (illiterate), and going with the world population estimated 7.8 billion, there is a balance estimate of over 7 billion literate adults. This is good news in the literacy battlefront, because globally we have a ration of 1illiterate adult to 10 literate adult. Imagine if we have a system where 10 products of education (literates) create time and know their roles no matter their profession, status and location to assist 1 illiterate adult. We would win the battle of eradicating global illiteracy before 2030. The event would analyse our roles as literates in this battle, tell stories of amazing people playing their roles and we begin and launch the community of global literacy superheroes, to achieve global adult literacy.
