The UNESCO Confucius Prize for Literacy

The UNESCO Confucius Prize for Literacy was established in 2005 through the generosity of the Government of the People’s Republic of China in honour of the great Chinese scholar Confucius.

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.

Each of the Prizes consists of US$20,000, a medal and a diploma. Furthermore, the Confucius Prize offers a study visit to literacy project sites in China.
