Today is International Mother Language Day and on this day we recognize language diversity and variety worldwide. Our students represent 85 different countries and speak more than 37 different languages!
International Mother Language Day has been observed since February 2000 and promotes the preservation and protection of all languages used by people around the world.
"In this age of new technologies, books remain precious instruments, easy to handle, sturdy and practical for sharing knowledge, mutual understanding and opening the world to all. Books are the pillars of knowledge societies and essential for promoting freedom of expression and education for all."
Irina Bokova, Director-General of UNESCO, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
