This year's occasion embraced the spirit of shared responsibility for literacy, a timeous and livelier response to the call for comprehensive and equitable education.
One of the star attractions was the unveiling of the Nanay Reading Academy, a community-led literacy project that empowers mothers to become children's reading trailblazers at home. The program's presentation was orchestrated by Division Reading Focal Iryhn E. Petalcorin under the flagship balanced-reading program, BASA Panabo, Panalo.
