Teaching 200,000 Bolivians to
Read
The literacy campaign launched
by the Bolivian government will
benefit 200,000 citizens during
its first stage, according to
Education Minister Félix Patzi.
The first stage will begin on
March 20, after the conclusion
of a pilot program launched
throughout the country last
Wednesday and scheduled to
conclude on April 30, the
minister added.
He pointed out that 200,000
people will learn how to write
and read in 40 days, thanks to a
campaign using the Cuban method
"Yo Sí Puedo" (Yes I Can), which
has successfully been
implemented in Venezuelan and
other countries, and has been
adjusted to Bolivia´s
conditions.
Highlighting the importance of
the program, Patzi said that
four national and 18
departmental coordinators are
working to boost the literacy
campaign, which is scheduled to
conclude in September 2007.
