Analfabetizmo es considerado una de las razones principales de exclusión social, pobreza y desigualdad en una sociedad, y alfabetización es esencial para alcanzar los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio – ODM. Bolivia es uno de los paises más pobres de America Latina. También tiene una población mayor de indígenas caracterizada por poca asistencia escolar y un alto índice de analfabetizmo. Con el objetivo de erradicar el analfabetismo en treinta meses el Gobierno de Evo Morales lanzó en 2006 una campaña intensiva de alfabetización, Yo, si puedo. El articulo analiza la situación después de terminar la campaña y discute a qué punto el Gobierno ha logrado la meta.English:Illiteracy is considered one of the main reasons for social exclusion, poverty and inequity in a society and adult literacy is central to reach the Millennium Goals.

The article analyses the situation after concluding the campaign and discusses to what extent the government has succeeded
