Dưới đây là nội dung bài đọc:

By July 2000, sixty –one provinces and cities throughout Vietnam had completed the programmes of “Universalization of Primary Education” and “Illiteracy Eradication”. However, by that time, only 94% of the population was able to read and write. This meant that more work had to be done to eradicate illiteracy in the country.

In the summer of 2000, the Vietnam Society of Learning Promotion started a campaign for illiteracy eradication. In the campaign, six hundred ethnic minority students from the northern highlands were asked to provide reading and writing skills to 1200 illiteracy people ling in their home villages. In 2001, eight hundred volunteer studnts took part in the campaign. The numer of people receiving reading and writing lessons reached 4623. This was an effective way to help people in remote and mountainous areas to read and write.

Those students who took part in the gight against illiteracy considered it an honorable job to help people in their home villages. They voluntarily spent their summer vacations teaching illiterate people to read and write. Some even prepared relevant materials for their classes. They talked about new farming techniques and family planning. Before they lefft, they promised to come back the next summer.

The fight against illteracy continued in the summer of 2002. This time the Vietnam Society of Learning Promotion decided to exand its activities to the central mountainous provinces. At present, the number of illterate people in the remote and muontainous areas is gradually decreasing. It hoped that illteracy will soon be eradicated in our country as more and more people are taking part in the struggle against it.
