More than 266,000 Mexicans are learning to read via the Cuban method



 MEXICO (PL)-MORE than 266,000 Mexicans are now studying under the innovative 
"I can do it!" Cuban literacy program, which is being taught in 10 different 
locations, according to the Cuban diplomatic mission in that country. 

The total of those being taught via the method, also known as Alfa-TV, went up 
on December 13 to 266,827, of which 118,537 have already graduated and 148,290 
are enrolled in the courses, which last seven weeks. 

Most students are located in the state of Michoacán (more than 62,000) and 
Oaxaca (37,570), where the greatest concentration of students is located: close 
to 70,000 and 76,000, respectively. 

Supervised by Cuban experts, the program is administered by almost 10,500 
facilitators, most of them young college graduates who are voluntarily teaching 
illiterate adults how to read and write. 

In addition to the two above-mentioned states, the "I can do it!" program has 
been implemented Tabasco, Puebla, Guerrero, the state of México, Veracruz, San 
Luis Potosí, Nayarit and the Federal District.

In the southwestern state of Oaxaca, where 454,377 people are illiterate, and 
the total of those who have never completed elementary education amounts 
exceeds 1.43 million, the campaign was dubbed  Margarita Maza de Juárez. 
According to Cipriano Flores, head of the State Institute for Adult Education 
(IEEA), this name pays tribute to the wife of former President Benito Juárez, 
who had to educate her children at home because it was impossible for them to 
attend school.

Flores noted the importance of the fact that increasingly more women are 
joining the literacy campaign, given that almost a quarter of a million women 
in that state are illiterate, representing 66.3% of that state's illiterate 
population. 

The "I can do it!" program, created three years ago in Cuba, was first 
implemented in Venezuela, where it helped one million people to learn how to 
read and write. 

The program is also used in other countries, including Argentina, Brazil, 
Haiti, Honduras, Uruguay and New Zealand.
