From a Honduran corner, soon after of reading her first letter, Delfina Dubón Acevedo recognizes that at the 76 it is not easy to learn. More to the north of the continent, in the Mexican state of Michoacán, María de Refugio Espinosa, nine children mother and widow, are not happy to have been considered the alphabetized number 100 thousand of that area and it directs her thought to the necessity that her descendants study and they can be useful.
While, Adela Rivero, a
Bolivia n who does not hide her pride for the acquired knowledge, expressed her admiration for the Cuban program that helped her to leave the darkness of the illiteracy behind: Is something incredible how she memorizes with a television, a video and the help of a facilitator, who will say it? .
But in our world, every day concrete evidences of the coexistence of the indifference appear for the humans that pitifully prevail among us and the initiatives that take body in different parts of the world with the man like fundamental main character.
An example explains for itself this thesis. The Organization of the United Nations for the Science, the Education and the Culture,
UNESCO , it has just recognized the failure of the international agreements that they sought to materialize the education principles for all and the decrease of the number of illiterate for the 2015 that today reaches the 876 million adults in the world.
However, such a panorama contrasts with the derivative victories of the Venezuelan efforts and
Bolivia ns to liquidate the illiteracy and to elevate the population educational levels, a task in which Cuba also has its incidence.
The plan for the country of the highland foresee the eradication of the illiteracy in a term of 30 months and at the moment there are almost 230 thousand
Bolivia n in classes and 29 thousand graduated, of an approximate total of a million 200 thousand illiterate.
Venezuela, on the other hand, is already free of the wrong and it is involve in the field of the educational pursuit of those who learned how to read and to write with, Yo sí puedo.
At the end of this same year they will graduate of sixth grade about 800 thousand Venezuelan and after 167 thousand finished their high school studies, other 600 thousand are incorporate to the courses to reach that level.
The application of proceeding educational Cuban has allowed in three years to take the light of the knowledge to more than two millions of illiterate of 22 countries of Latin America, Oceania and
África .
Beyond political searches of guilty, the transcendent thing would be to get superior advances, as those that it demonstrates the Cuban method Yo, si puedo, that slope of the educational land that shows the existence of the Bolivarian Alternative for the America and that it endows of new airs the histories of Delfina, María de Refugio and Adela, three daughters of different corners of this continent that now face the life with new airs.
