[MLE] Recent UNESCO Publications on Literacy

Dear MLE interest group,
Several of you are somehow involved in literacy. Attached is an overview of
all literacy related UNESCO publications with their web-link.

[MLE] Good resource

Dear MLE Interest group,
Some of you have asked for case studies on Multi Lingual Education (MLE) in
non-western countries. Attached is a beautiful booklet on an African
example. It is titled: Universal Primary Education in Multilingual
Societies; Supporting its Implementation in Sub-Saharan Africa and beyond.
I am sorry for the large file size. I hope you are all aware of the filter
option in Outlook and other e-mail programmes which can prevent you from
getting in these large message when inconvenient, but than allow you to
download them later while having a good connection.

[MLE] Advocacy booklet for policy makers / Susan Malone
