Guantánamo – The light of teaching reaches the city of La Paz, Bolivia, thanks to the commitment and dedication of 28 Guantánamo educators, including Disneyi’s Quesada Arias, coordinator of the “Yo, sí puedo” program that has a positive impact on the people of this South American country.
The internationalist educator from Guantanamo pointed out that the adult literacy education method in this community has passed its first phase, in which the beneficiaries have demonstrated literacy skills and can read them fluently.
This achievement is dedicated to Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro Ruz, historical leader of the Cuban Revolution whose dreams are of fairness and justice.
“Yo, sí puedo” is an audiovisual, alphanumeric program aimed at young people and adults (from 15 years old), illiterate, purely functional and/or special people. It consists of 65 teaching units of 30 minutes each with a maximum duration of three and a half months.
It was conceived to teach reading and writing in a short time, facilitated by the fact that it can be used by a large number of people at the same time, while being easily adaptable to any type of illiterate and with any language level.
Four basic skills are developed: observing, listening, reading and writing, and moving from the known (numbers) to the unfamiliar (letters), allowing participants greater understanding.
Its implementation is based on the spirit of voluntariness of both the students and the facilitators who offer to teach the lesson.
