Bolivia: Literacy drive progresses


5 April 2008
According to a March 20 Prensa Latina report, Bolivia has honoured the second anniversary of the national literacy campaign that has so far taught 77% of its illiterate population to read and write, using the Cuban program "Yes, I Can". Since it began in 2006, the program has guaranteed access to education to every adult aged over 15, and Bolivia expects to be declared free of illiteracy on November 2008. Bolivia hopes to rank as the third country freed of illiteracy in Latin America, after Cuba (1961) and Venezuela (2005).
