How do we fight illiteracy in rural areas?
Report prepared by TV Peru in the framework of the International Day of Education on young people and adults who did not have access to education and who are illiterate. According to official sources, 25% of women over 15 years of age in rural areas of Peru state that they do not know how to read or write, so it is proposed to rethink the current educational offer to make it functional and relevant.
Dispurse Foundation is proud to announce that 10 women have successfully completed our literacy program in Bolivia. This pilot, implemented in the Periferica macro-district in La Paz, is the result of a valuable collaboration with Fundación Educación y Cooperación (Educo) and Fundación Centro de Cultura Popular (FCCP).
The event organized by Es Hoy, DVV International and Dispurse Foundation highlighted the joint efforts of companies, municipalities, educational institutions and civil society to close the educational gaps in youth and adults. In a context where 1 in 3 people in Peru have not completed their basic education, this event highlighted the importance of education as a tool for transformation.
In commemoration of International Literacy Day, Dispurse Foundation joined the awareness parade held in the city of Cajamarca. This event brought together students, teachers, organizations and local authorities to highlight the importance of literacy in personal and community development.
