Bolivia Declared Free of Illiteracy After 1 Year, $37 Million Program
Campaign was carried out with the assistance of teachers and advisers from
Venezuela and Cuba.

LA PAZ -- Bolivia spent $36.7 million on its campaign to end illiteracy,
Education Minister Roberto Aguilar said Sunday.

The 33-month campaign, which benefited some 827,000 people, will end next
Saturday, when Bolivia is declared free of illiteracy, joining Cuba and
Venezuela as the only countries in that category.

Under UNESCO standards, a country can be declared free of illiteracy if 96
percent of its population over the age of 15 can read and write.

The literacy campaign was carried out with the assistance of teachers and
advisers from Venezuela and Cuba, and President Evo Morales has proposed
that neighboring Paraguay work with the two countries to end illiteracy.

Aguilar told state-owned Patria Nueva radio that funding for the campaign
came from Venezuela, as well as from the Bolivian central government and
cities, while Cuba provided personnel.

The UNESCO representative for the Andean region and Organization of American
States Secretary-General Jose Miguel Insulza plan to take part in the
ceremony in the central city of Cochabamba.
