Bolivia Opens Literacy Campaign

La Paz
Bolivia's President Evo Morales is starting Monday in the eastern city of Camiri a literacy campaign that will teach about 1,100,000 citizens to read and write.

The aim of the campaign is to decolonize education and vindicate people's fundamental rights.

Attending the act is Cuban Education Minister Luis Ignacio Gomez, who backed up his country's decision to collaborate in everything for the success of this campaign.

Gomez recalled that the support of Cuban advisers and technical means for Bolivian literacy was signed agreement by Presidents Evo Morales and Fidel Castro during the former's visit to Havana on December 30, then as president-elect of his country.

The Education Ministry told Prensa Latina that all Latin American

education ministers, among them Venezuela's Aristobulo Isturiz, were invited to attend the ceremony.
