HIBAPRESS – Ahmed Al-Musaed
In a move that reflects the state's orientations towards promoting lifelong learning, the Regional Delegation of the National Agency for Combating Illiteracy in Berkane launched, on the evening of Friday, December 26th, at the "Bohdila" Youth Center, the official launch of the literacy programs for the current season. This program comes within the framework of implementing the national action plan aimed at reducing illiteracy rates and making it a basic lever for social and economic advancement.
The launch ceremony was headed by the Regional Director of the National Agency for Combating Illiteracy in the Eastern region, and the Regional Delegate of the Agency in Berkane, with the significant presence of representatives of the regional authorities, headed by the Head of the Internal Affairs Department of the Berkane Prefecture, and the Pasha of the city, in addition to the heads of the economic, coordination and social work departments, in addition to representatives of the concerned governmental sectors and civil society فعاليات. The meeting was a platform to review the fruits of the post-literacy program, as the event witnessed the organization of a special exhibition of the beneficiaries' products, which focused mainly on the "craft preparation" aspect. The exhibits, through various practical workshops, reflected the level of mastery reached by the beneficiaries, which highlights the direct impact of integrating vocational and craft training within the agency's educational curricula. This approach aims to transform reading acquisitions into practical skills that open up real prospects for self-employment. This initiative falls within the context of strengthening the participatory approach adopted by the National Agency, which does not only suffice with combating alphabetical illiteracy, but also seeks socio-economic empowerment: linking learning to income-generating opportunities; improving the quality of life: qualifying the beneficiaries to actively participate in the local economic cycle; sustainability: ensuring the continuity of learning through "post-literacy" programs. The activity concluded by emphasizing that the Berkane region aspires, through the concerted efforts of the regional authorities and civil actors, to effectively achieve the goals of the national plan, by making the "right to learn" a basic entry point for comprehensive human development.
