LPA - Literacy Program for All “Teaching to Read, Write and Calculate”.

Justification

According to Jornal de Angola on September 7, 2019, every fourth Angolan citizen does not know how to read or write, which represents a high rate of illiteracy, revealed the Minister of State for Social Area, Carolina Cerqueira.

In 2017, Angola had 25 percent illiterate people, of the 25 million 789 thousand 24 inhabitants, who are illiterate, according to the Secretary of State for Pre-School and General Education, Joaquim Cabral (Angop, 17 November 2017) .

Around ten million citizens, including children and adults, are without birth registration, according to revelations made by the Minister of Justice and Human Rights, which demonstrate the seriousness of the situation (Jornal de Angola, May 2, 2019).

Accordingly, the General Population and Housing Census “Definitive Results” of 2014 shows that:

• 53% of the resident population aged 0-4 does not have a Civil Registration;
