Education has been disrupted during Covid-19. Efforts have been taken to reach each individual through technology. Learning of children, young people and adults have been affected. Even through technology, access to learning was not evenly distributed. Due to lack of knowledge about technology and not having availability to any digital platforms many children and student's education has been affected.

International Literacy Day 2021 has taken an initiative to spread the knowledge of technology to every individual. Thus increasing the accessibility and building opportunity to rebuild the literacy teaching and learning.
