Education Matters
In 1990, International Literacy Year, the world

l'alphabétisation, celle au cours de laquelle le monde entier avait les yeux

dépendra de l'engagement que prendront les peuples de changer les fusils en
livres.

Konesans Fammi se Lespwa Timoun
Many Haitian children live in
rural areas, but nearly 60 percent live in shanty towns. Safe drinking water is
available for only 50 percent of those living in towns and for 30 percent of
those living in the countryside. Children die of malaria, tetanus, diarrhoea,
tuberculosis and above all malnutrition. The "Knowledge, Family Programme"
associates health with education, thereby enlisting the help of parents in this
development programme. The "Alpha mission project" in Creole, the principal
language of the country, combats illiteracy.

l'éducation avec le concours des parents. La "Mission Alpha" qui travaille en
étroite collaboration avec Konesans Fammi, dispense des programmes en créole,

Studying Literacy in Morocco
A joint American-Moroccan study
looks at pre-school and primary school learning in two contrasting areas of
Morocco: Marrakech, where children and their families speak a dialect of Arabic,
and El Kassour, a rural village in the Atlas mountains, where the community
speaks Berber. The lliteracy needs and relative achievements of boys and girls
in both areas are examined, and the importance of pre-school learning
emphasized. Koranic pre-schools, where most lessons consist of rote learning of
the Koran, were found to be a valuable educational building block for achieving
Arabic literacy.

Memorias de la campaña "Pónle tu nombre"
La campaña nacional de
alfabetización "Monssignor Leonidas Proaño" ha sido uno de los eventos más
significativos en materia social y educativa realizados en el Ecuador durante
estos últimos años. Aproximadamente 75.000 jóvenes alfabetizadores y 350.000
personas se inscribieron en los Círculos de Alfabetización Popular (CAP). Los
Derechos Humanos fueron adoptados como tema de esta campaña. Tanto el material
de alfabetización como el plan de formación de los alfabetizadores tomaron como
base los derechos humanos. Los alfabetizadores eran en su mayoría alumnos de
ambos sexos de la educación secundaria, y su participación en la campaña
constituía una condición indispensable para su graduación. La campaña fue
concebida como una primera etapa de un amplio movimiento de reforma de la
educación.

first step in a wide movement towards education reform.
