With only 400 people left to be included in the National Literacy Program in just a couple of months, Bolivia’s capital city of La Paz is being declared free of that social scourge.
The Cuban co-coordinator of the project, Javier Labrada, said that there are still 9,000 students who will soon graduate in La Paz, reported the Cuban Foreign Ministry’s website.
Labrada said that the city is expected to be declared free of illiteracy on October 20, when La Paz will mark the 460th anniversary of its founding.
Thus, the site of the government will become yet another city in the country to achieve this status, behind Cochabamba and Oruro.
Labrada announced that this distinction is expected to be conferred upon the northern department of Pando in September, and one month later in the eastern region of Santa Cruz.
The source added that so far, 206 of Bolivia’s 327 municipalities have successfully completed work in the campaign while this is expected to be concluded for the entire country by the end of the year employing the Cuban “Yes I Can” teaching method.
Bolivia aspires to become the third country free of illiteracy in Latin America, following Cuba (1961) and Venezuela (2005), highlights the
note.
