Today is International Literacy Day, under the theme "Promoting literacy in the digital era the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO ) says digitalisation has been changing ways in which people learn, live, work and socialise, in both positive and negative ways.

 To talk to us further on world literacy day is the Managing Director at Oxford University Press South Africa Karen Simpson.
