Drive Against illiteracy
TRUJILLO, Dominican Republic
—(ANP)—A drive to bring a mea

the 18,000 schools which have been
set up.
Dr. Joaquin Balaguer, minister
of education, has said that in two
more years “we will have no more
illiteracy in the Dominican Repub
lic.”’ A government census in 1950

the educators employed in the
present campaign are those who
are working toward full-time tea

announced a goal of providing one
teacher every 20 students. In addi

candidate, a large number of vol
untary non-professional teachers
are helping in the classrooms.
Classes are conducted five nights
a week, and some students begin
ning their second year have advan
ced frem a state of complete illit
eracy to a point where they rati
read and write on simple themes.

concerning personnel tmploycd bv

and could not be divulged unless it
was a criminal matter or because
