More than 100 Cuban teachers who were working in collaboration in Venezuela, returned home on Monday, after fulfilling the goals of their mission.
Cuba's Deputy Education Minister Rolando Forneiro welcomed the teachers at Havana's Jose Marti international airport.
Ivone Lahera, head advisor of the Sucre Mission in the state of Aragua, told ACN that 37,272 Venezuelan students are currently enrolled in some 18 undergraduate programs in the specialties of medicine, teaching and social communication, among others. She noted that some 15,000 students have already graduated in those specialties.
Lahera, who holds a doctorate in pedagogical sciences, explained that the Robinson, Rivas and Sucre missions, are the continuity studies of the Cuban literacy teaching method Yo sí puedo (Yes, I Can), through which people learn to read and write in a period of about three months.
This method is currently used in 30 countries of the world.
Venezuela was the second Latin American nation to implement the Cuban method in 2005 and also to eradicate illiteracy after Cuba, which reached the goal in back in 1961.
Bolivia, also with the Cuban help, last Saturday became the third country in the region to be declared a territory free from the scourge of illiteracy.
