The Antiquities Ministry will organize a temporary archaeological exhibition at Manial Palace on Thursday in celebration of the International Literacy Day.
The fair will show various types of handwritten fonts.
Elham Salah al-Din, the head of the museums sector at the ministry, said the exhibition will be held in light of the ministry's partaking in the international events.
"The palace is considered as a school for teaching handwritten fonts, especially the Arabic scripts," she added.
The exhibition includes a selection of distinctive and different writing tools used by the princes of Muhammad Ali dynasty, some of which belonged to the prince Mohammed Tawfiq.
International Literacy Day, celebrated annually on 8 September, is an opportunity for governments, civil society and stakeholders to highlight improvements in world literacy rates, and reflect on the world's remaining literacy challenges. The issue of literacy is a key component of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
The UN's Sustainable Development Goals, adopted by world leaders in September 2015, promotes, as part of its agenda, universal access to quality education and learning opportunities throughout people’s lives. Sustainable Development Goal 4 has as one of its targets ensuring all young people achieve literacy and numeracy and that adults who lack these skills are given the opportunity to acquire them.
