Almost six million people in 28 countries all over the world have learned to read and write thanks to the Cuban literacy method ‘Yo si puedo’ (Yes, I Can).
According to Enia Rosa Torres, an advisor to the Cuban Minister of Education, 5.8 million people have already learned to read and write using the ‘Yo si puedo’ method, while 723,900 others have benefited from a similar Cuban methodology called ‘Yo si puedo seguir’ (Yes, I Can Continue), which guarantees elementary instruction.
Its my wish that Dominica would benefit from this literacy program, our people would better able to think and analyze things for themselves and not depend on the few who continue to keep them in that state of illiteracy
@ Lougaoo Mem:
That’s the real news all peoples of the world need to know about. Cuba is a champion of less fortunate ones, while the elite of the western world try keeping us ignorant, poor and miserable. Cuba demonstrates the true meaning of humanity. We have Freedom of speech in Dominica, right? Well, has it gotten us out of the gutters of despair, has it promoted the very poor to a better social standing, has freedom of speech healed us from the bondage of the slave masters and their puppeteers, has it taken us out of the mire and murky quick sands of a horrible administration that has sold us out to Beijing? Cuba is the only free country in the Western hemisphere, so get with the program. I am just really sorry for all you ignorant folk that don’t know your left brain from your right brain.
Certainly, your last sentence says a great deal of how ur brain functions. In addition, to say that Cuba is the only FREE country in the Western Hemisphere, clearly, there’s something very wrong about your thought process. Have a nice day!
Why don’t you immigrate to Cuba? Have you ever thought of it? I know that thousands of Dominicans have immigrated to the US, I wonder how many have made their home in Cuba?
Bcz, Cuba is not a place to make Money and we r running to the USA (Dominicans; Haitians an others) for money.
Cuba don’t need Unqualified, the bus driver have his PhD, the taxi driver is a cardiologic and so on, get graduate from High school is just a steep to for u to go to university or learn a job (nursing 5 years; mechanic 3 years…) tell me if you can afford a job in that society? NO!
Cuba don’t sell passport if u want to leave there u need balls; not less than $ 2 000 (usd) a month; u got me? So how many of us can afford that?…
Only big balls! Professors’ and businessmen (including from the USA) are establish in CUBA.
All you have so WRONG, son wrong and so wrong concepts of Cuba.
Good look and try to GET A LOAN, for you to educate yourself or finish paying our studies loan; THE CUBAN OF YOUR AGE DOESN’T HAVE THIS ISSUE.
EDUCATION IS FREEDOM!
I wish she could say the same about freedom of speech against the regime allowed in the country.
Well we must must thank the 2PM O.J SERAPHIN FOR THE CUBAN SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM WHICH BEGAN in 1979 and although THE EUGENIA CHARLES ADMINISTRATION deliberately disregarded the CUBAN SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM THE PARTY WHICH HE LED CONTINUED THE PROGRAM WITH CUBA WITH THE DOUGLAS BROTHERS OF ROSIE AND MIKE UNTIL MIKE TOOK OVER THE LABOUR PARTY LEADERSHIP IN 1985.
THIS CONTINUED FOR ANOTHER DECADE UNTIL THE UWP EMERGED AS GOVERNMENT AND BEGAN THE STATE SPONSORED CUBAN SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM WHICH EUGENIA CHARLES AND THE FREEDOM PARTY DENIED THE STUEDENTS OF DOMINCA
WE MUST REMAIN GRATEFUL TO THOSE LEADERS AND CETAINLY FIDEL CASTRO FOR THE GREAT CONTRIBUTION TO THE LESS FORTUNATE WORLD CITIZENS WHO BECAME PROFESSIONALS-DOCTORS-ENGINEERS etcFROM GRASS ROOT FAMILIES FROM THE CARIBBEAN AND AFRICA SOMETHING US AND FIRST WORLD COUNTRIES FAILED MISERABLY IN THAT REGARD
