00:00Gracias a la participación entre el gobierno federal federal, social movimientos como el MST y el gobierno de Cuba,
00:07miles de adultos rurales han aprendido a leer y a escribir.
00:11La correspondencia, Brian Muir, tiene más.
00:16En el 28 de diciembre, los villagers de la ciudad de México llegaron a Recife
00:21para una de las más grandes ceremonias de graduación en Brasil.
00:27Gracias a una participación entre el gobierno federal federal y los movimientos sociales como el MST y el gobierno de
00:35Cuba,
00:36miles de personas reciben sus certificaciones adultas.
00:40I went to school en 1977, pero solo había comenzado cuando tenía que quitar.
00:47So años después, un profesor, llamado Magno, invitó a participar en el proyecto de Yes, I Can.
00:58In 2004, Fidel Castro invited the Brazilian government to import an adult literacy methodology called Yes, I Can
01:06that had been developed in the 1960s to use with poor urban and rural workers.
01:11After the education ministry rejected the offer, Castro invited the MST to roll it out on their own.
01:17It was so successful that the Lula administration inserted the methodology into its national journey to literacy program.
01:24That's first 18,000 graduates received their certificates this week.
01:29Since illiteracy is a social problem, this is a result of the structure of our society.
01:37Overcoming it requires political definition, organizing people, and a good methodology.
01:43This method helps people learn, because it builds on things that the people are familiar with from their daily lives.
01:51And starting from there, builds process of literacy.
02:01In a moment when Cuba is under a hybrid war attack from the imperialist United States, guest speakers and participants
02:07alike took the time to thank the people of Cuba for their solidarity.
02:12And Cuba sent its ambassador to the event.
02:16People have the right to have an education.
02:22They have the right to know how to read and write.
02:27Yes, I can, is a tried and true Cuban literacy methodology.
02:34Which has been applied and instrumentalized in 30 countries.
02:41Benefiting over 11 million people.
02:45According to the MST, there are still over 10 million functionally illiterate adults in Brazil.
