BRIEF, BOLIVIA
Literacy campaign makes gains in Bolivia


13 April 2007


Prensa Latina reported on April 11 that more than 100,000 Bolivians have already learned to read and write through the Cuban “Yes, I Can” literacy program since it began early last year. According to education minister Victor Caceres, in La Paz, more than 40,000 of the 286,280 people in the program have already graduated. The national program aims to teach more than 1.2 million illiterate people how to read and write so that the country can be free from illiteracy in 2008. President Evo Morales has already declared Tocata municipality, in Cochabamba, the first locality to be illiteracy-free.
