HAVANA, Cuba, Oct 18 (acn) Argentinean illiterates that learned how to read and write by way of the Cuban "Yes I Can" method received at the Congress of the Nation their certificates as graduates, in a ceremony where the willingness of the Argentinean government to boost a national literacy campaign was highlighted.
Attending the ceremony in Buenos Aires, according to a report by the Prensa Latina news agency, were 200 graduates from Yes I Can, Argentinean facilitators of several of the country's provinces, and Cuban educators supervising the implementation of the method, which packed the auditorium of the Annex to the Congress.
This popular education program began to be implemented throughout Argentina with the help of the National Registry of Agrarian Workers and Employers (Renatea), the organ of the Ministry of Labor for rural development.
At the end of 2003 Renatea signed a work agreement with the Argentinean foundation "A Better World is Possible" (Un Mundo Mejor Es Posible, Ummep), an organization that coordinates in that country the educational mission Yes I Can and the eye mission "Operation MIracle," which contribute to boost literacy teaching nationally.
The project was implemented in 2004; first through isolated agreements with some municipalities and now, with the boost given by Renatea, 26,152 persons have learned how to read and write.
