Today is being celebrated as International Literacy Day. 

 

There are reportedly some four billion literate people in the world.

 

However, literacy for all children, youth and adults is still an unaccomplished goal and an ever moving target.

 

Veteran Reggae Artiste Tony Rebel says entertainers through their music can educate while at the same time entertain.

 

He says they should at all times ensure that the lyrical content of their music is educational and sends a positive message.  ((((CLIP)))))

 

Singer and Actress Cherine Anderson encourages both entertainers and listeners to read, as she says knowledge is key (((((CLIP))))
