< Previous | Home | Next >

The following I retrieved from Pensa Latina it mentions a literacy program for Haiti by the UN there is no credit given to Preval or the Catholic Church or any Government CONTRIBUTION.

Perhaps there may be another article but this one is dated October 23. It goes as follows:
Haitians Welcome Literacy Campaign
Port au Prince, Oct 23 (Prensa Latina) Haitians are rushing to register for basic literacy teaching courses, which are being offered for the first time in this country, State Secretary for this activity Carol Joseph revealed in this capital.

Around 1,000 schools have been opened in the northern, southeastern, and western departments, just a month before the campaign begins, according to the Yo Si Puedo -Yes, I can- method, the name of which is Wi muen Kapab in creole language, and has been elaborated by experts from Cuba, a country that also contributes educational and technical means.

The official estimated at around 60,000 the people registered for the program, the objective of which is to teach basic literacy some three million people, aged from 14-45.Besides eradicating illiteracy in an active sector of the population, the effort will generate some 100,000 jobs, according to official reports.

Joseph also said a census continues in the western southern, and northeastern areas, and in the Artibonite, the Nippes, and the grand Ans, and basic literacy teaching is yet to be started in the northeastern area and the Central Plain.The campaign is sponsored by the UN Organization for Education, Science, and Culture, with contributions by several States and non governmental organizations.

***Again the contributions are by NON GOVERNMENTAL organizations.*** NO CREDIT for PREVAL here on EDUCATION.
