Uruguay Plans to Launch Cuban Literacy Method Throughout Country

Havana, July 3 (acn) After a successful test on a local district of the 
capital city Montevideo, Uruguay has decided to launch the Cuban 
literacy program Yo si puedo (Yes, I Can) in the rest of the country.

Some 10,000 Uruguayans over 18 years old should learn how to read and 
write in the next stage, said Social Development Ministry official 
Yamandu Ferraz.

The Cuban method has been acknowledged by UNESCO and has benefited over 
two million people from fifteen nations so far. It is adapted to fit 
each country's language or linguistic norm, customs, and idiosyncrasies.

In Uruguay, the program will have the name of "En el pais de Varela Yo 
si puedo" (In the Country of Varela, Yes I can), recalling the local 
education reformist Jose Pedro Varela.
