- Read the following passage ONCE at your normal speed, trying to get a general idea of the passage, and then do EXERCISE.</p></p> In Turkey, one out of ten people could read or write in the 1920s. Teachers were especially needed in Turkey’s small towns and villages. At first, the Turkish government brought young people to the cities for training as teachers. But the new teachers enjoyed city life so much that they often refused to return to the small villages. To solve this problem, the Turkish government built teacher-training schools in the villages. Young people who graduated from these schools remained in the villages. Today, almost half of the people in Turkey can read and write.</p></p> Mexico, too, had the problem of a large population that could not read or write. In the 1940s the president decided to introduce an unusual program of education. Every person between 18 and 60 who could read and write had to teach another person between 6 and 40 to read and write. In this way, each student had his or her own teacher! The government provided books for the teachers to use. The books were written in Spanish, which is the official language of the country. They were also written in several Indian languages. In the first year of this program, about 750,000 people learned to read and write.</p></p> 1. What does the article tell about?</p></p>
