The school promotion, one of the largest in the region, wants to continue to contribute to the reduction of illiteracy in this nation
José Antonio del Pino, head of the office of education in the Cuban Embassy in Mexico, highlighted the work of the members of the Brigade of the Caribbean island and the political will of the authorities of the municipality to bring light to the illiterate.
According to specialists of the Autonomous University of Mexico, the illiteracy rate is slightly more than six percent of adults.
This program has its foundations in the experience of the literacy campaign carried out in Cuba in 1961, when, in a single year, illiteracy was eliminated.
Through this method, recognized internationally by the United Nations Education, Science and Culture Organization (Unesco), the island provides collaboration in more than 30 countries and more than 10 million people benefit.
