September Designation

September is designated as Basic Education and Literacy Month by Rotary. The goal of this month is to strengthen communities' ability to support literacy and basic education, reduce gender disparity in education, and increase adult literacy. Rotary clubs and districts may use this month to highlight Rotaract by working on projects with their Rotaract clubs.
Some ways to take action during Basic Education and Literacy Month include:
- Encouraging others to join the Basic Education & Literacy Rotary Action Group (BELRAG)
- Providing materials and equipment for literacy education
- Alleviating illiteracy
- Enhancing literacy teaching and learning globally
