SlogansEducation and literacy slogans
For enrolment drives, International Literacy Day (8 September), library weeks and the wall beside the school gate.
English
Every child in school. No child left at work.
A book in the hand is a door in the wall.
Educate one child, and a whole family learns.
Pens are lighter than burdens. Choose school.
Reading is travelling without a ticket.
Learning has no last bench.
School is every child's right, not a favour.
Ask questions. That is where learning starts.
Literacy is the first freedom.
One teacher, one classroom, a hundred futures.
Learn today. Stand tall tomorrow.
A child in school today is a family that stands tall tomorrow.
Books do not ask where you come from.
Send her to school. She will carry the whole house forward.
Teach one child to read, and a whole lane learns.
The first bell is an invitation. Come in.
हिन्दी
हर बच्चा स्कूल जाए, कोई पीछे न रह जाए।
कलम की ताकत पहचानो, पढ़ाई को अपना मानो।
पढ़ी लिखी लड़की, रोशनी घर की।
किताबें सबसे सच्ची दोस्त हैं।
शिक्षा का दीप जलाओ, अज्ञान का अँधेरा मिटाओ।
सवाल पूछना सीखो, यही असली पढ़ाई है।
बाल मज़दूरी बंद करो, बच्चों के हाथ में किताब धरो।
काम बाद में, स्कूल पहले, यही है बचपन का हक़।
बेटा हो या बेटी, दोनों को पढ़ाओ, दोनों को बढ़ाओ।
किताबें नहीं पूछतीं कि तुम कहाँ से आए हो।
एक बच्चे को पढ़ना सिखाओ, पूरी गली को राह दिखाओ।
ਪੰਜਾਬੀ
ਪੜ੍ਹੋ ਤੇ ਪੜ੍ਹਾਓ, ਦੇਸ਼ ਨੂੰ ਅੱਗੇ ਵਧਾਓ।
ਹਰ ਬੱਚਾ ਸਕੂਲ ਜਾਵੇ, ਕੋਈ ਅਨਪੜ੍ਹ ਨਾ ਰਹਿ ਜਾਵੇ।
ਕਿਤਾਬਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਯਾਰੀ, ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗੀ ਸੰਵਾਰੀ।
ਧੀ ਪੁੱਤ ਦੋਵੇਂ ਪੜ੍ਹਾਓ, ਘਰ ਦਾ ਨਾਂ ਰੌਸ਼ਨ ਕਰਾਓ।
ਬਸਤਾ ਚੁੱਕੋ, ਸਕੂਲ ਚੱਲੋ, ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗੀ ਦੇ ਰਾਹ ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ।
In common use (not written by us)
Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.
पढ़ेगा इंडिया, तभी तो बढ़ेगा इंडिया।
शिक्षा है अनमोल रतन, पढ़ने का सब करो जतन।
आधी रोटी खाएँगे, बच्चों को पढ़ाएँगे।
Nothing matches. Try a shorter word, or choose All.
Where these slogans are used
Enrolment rallies at the start of the session, literacy day programmes, library week, adult literacy classes, and the wall beside the school gate that every parent passes twice a day. Many are also used as headings for essays and speeches.
Write your own
Education slogans are addressed to two different people. To a child, speak of what learning opens: books, questions, wings, a job, a wider world. To a parent, speak of what schooling protects: a daughter's future, a son's choices, the family's name. Decide who will read your line before you write it. For an enrolment rally in a village, write in the language spoken at home there, and say the school's name.
- English pairs: read and lead, learn and earn, school and tool, book and look, write and bright.
- Hindi pairs: पढ़ो and बढ़ो, शिक्षा and दीक्षा, ज्ञान and सम्मान, किताब and जवाब, पाठशाला and उजाला.
- Punjabi pairs: ਪੜ੍ਹੋ and ਵਧੋ, ਗਿਆਨ and ਮਾਣ, ਕਿਤਾਬ and ਜਵਾਬ, ਸਕੂਲ and ਅਸੂਲ.
Ideas that go with the slogan
- A "each one, teach one" pledge board where students sign up to help one younger child read.
- A rally stop outside homes of children who are not in school, with a welcome, not a scolding.
- A book donation box under the slogan.
What to avoid
- Mocking people who cannot read. Many never had the chance.
- Slogans that value only marks and ranks. Learning is wider than a report card.
Using these slogans
- For an enrolment rally, add the school's name and admission dates under the slogan.
