The UNESCO Confucius Prize for Literacy recognizes the activities of outstanding individuals, governments or governmental agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) working in literacy serving rural adults and out-of-school youth, particularly women and girls. The Prize was established in 2005 through the support of the Government of the People’s Republic of China in honour of the great Chinese scholar Confucius. It is part of the International Literacy Prizes, which UNESCO awards every year in recognition of excellence and inspiring experiences in the field of literacy throughout the world. The Confucius Prize offers two awards of US$20,000 each, a medal and a diploma, as well as a study visit to literacy project sites in China. The Prize is open to institutions, organizations or individuals displaying outstanding merit in literacy, achieving particularly effective results and promoting innovative approaches. The selection of prizewinners is made by an International Jury appointed by UNESCO’s Director-General, which meets in Paris once a year. The Prize is awarded at an official ceremony held for that purpose at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris on the occasion of International Literacy Day (8 September). == Recipients of the Prize by year == *2012 * *Department of Continuing and Adults Education - Programme of Non-Formal and Continuing Education - (Bhutan) * *Transformemos Foundation Directors María Aurora Carrillo Rodolfo Ardila - Interactive System Transformemos Educando - (Colombia) * *(Honourable Mention) Illiteracy Eradication Directorate of the Ministry of Education - Literacy and Post-literacy programme: Means of empowerment and socio-economic integration of women in Morocco - (Morocco) *2011: * *Room to Read - (United States) * *Collectif Alpha Ujuvi - (Democratic Republic of Congo) * * (Honourable Mention) Dr. Allah Bakhsh Malik, Punjab, (Pakistan) *2010: * *Governorate of Ismailia - (Egypt) * *Coalition of Women Farmers (COWFA) - (Malawi) * * Non-Formal Education Centre - (Nepal) *2009: * *SERVE Afghanistan - (Afghanistan) * *Municipal Literacy Coordinating Council - (Philippines) *2008: * *Adult and Non-Formal Education Association (ANFEAE) (Ethiopia) * *Operation Upgrade (South Africa) *2007: * *Family Re-orientation Education and Empowerment (FREE) (Nigeria) * *Reach Out and Read (United States of America) *2006: * *Ministry of National Education of the Kingdom of Morocco, for its innovative national literacy initiative * *Directorate of Literacy and Continuing Education of Rajastan, for its Useful Learning through Literacy and Continuing Education Programme in Rajasthan (India) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「UNESCO Confucius Prize for Literacy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
