Cuba's international cooperation efforts and quality are recognized worldwide. The "Yo sí puedo" (Yes, I can) program for literacy promotion stands out among its actions. Cuba repeatedly affirms that it is available for any country.
The program has provided education to people of all ages through a learning process based on students' social reality and daily activities. By the end of 2019, more than 10 million people in 30 Latin American and African countries have received literacy training under the "Yo sí puedo" activities, enabling 1.5 million of its participants to reach the sixth grade of initial education.
