00:07a landmark in the fight for education in the nation.

00:13I'm in the Gerald Down Auditorium in Recife, where thousands of members of the Landless Rural Workers Movement

00:20have traveled by bus from all over Brazil to one of the largest graduation ceremonies for an adult literacy course

00:27in history.

00:28The Brazilian Ministry of Education has forged a partnership with the Landless Rural Workers Movement

00:34and other partners to implement a methodology that was originally developed in Cuba in the 1960s,

00:41refined by Paulo Freire in partnership with the MST in the 90s,

00:46and then supported by the Hugo Chavez government in the 2000s,
