“"Literacy intelligence is the release of humans from the supremacy of ignorance towards the supremacy of knowledge"”_Fadhil Sofian Hadi
In the KBBI dictionary the word ‘'Script'’ refers to 3 meanings. First, the system that humans use to communicate, more or less represents speech. Second, a particular type of graphic sign system. Third, indicates the meaning of the letters. Examples: Aramaic script, Arabic script, Jawi script, and so on.
Human communication is inseparable from speech. Speech refers to words. Words then find their corresponding equivalents. After that, words form the foundational structure of sentences. Naturally, each word has a meaning, which is then expressed in a sentence structure. Before a sentence can be structured properly, its word structure must first be correct.
A person's intelligence can be seen from their ability to arrange words neatly into sentences. Coherence, balance, and harmony in word order are crucial determinants of whether a speech is easily accepted, understood, and digested. This is where intelligence and literacy skills are needed.
The word literacy was not originally found in the KBBI (Big Indonesian Dictionary). This is because literacy is a loanword originating from English., literacy. Literacy in English is an adoption from Latin ‘'Literatus'’ meaning a person who learns. The meaning of a person who learns is the process of someone seeking knowledge.
In its development, the word literacy became a slogan against 'ignorance' and 'stupidity'. This means that someone who wants to learn increases their knowledge of the most basic things. The most basic human knowledge is to increase intelligence in the world of reading and writing.
The aspect of reading and writing is not only a basic human need, but also a marker of human progress after thousands of years of living in the empty confines of illiteracy, towards the advancement of knowledge and the development of civilization.
The word "literacy" has become very familiar today. It's a colloquial expression that indicates the involvement of intelligence in doing something. Intelligence isn't limited to reading and writing, but encompasses all aspects of life.
Literacy intelligence is the liberation of humanity from the perception of ignorance and toward change. Therefore, it's natural that the word literacy has evolved from simply the ability to read and write to encompass other skills, including understanding concepts, information, and various other skills that require intelligence and knowledge.
Human knowledge will increase if he learns. So the equivalence of meaning Literature in language Latin, Literacy in language English, Literacy in language Indonesia, or Hiragana And Katakana in language Japan and other languages must be in accordance with the original meaning, namely someone who is learning.
Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge. Knowledge cannot be acquired without learning. This knowledge and learning gave rise to a theory of intelligence called literacy.
Today, the call for literacy is growing louder. It's a sign that knowledge must never die. It must remain alive within humanity. Various methods and steps are being taken to revive literacy, from incomplete curriculum improvements and changes to a return to the original concept of a lack of interest in learning to increase knowledge.
Keep learning and keep on progressing to patch up the thinness of your knowledge!
And Allah knows besta Ab
