The Latin American and Caribbean Pedagogical Institute (IPLAC, in Spanish) bestowed President Fidel Castro with the UNESCO Saxon King award, for applying successfully the Cuban literacy method "Yo Si Puedo" (Yes, I Can).

At the opening ceremony of "Pegagogia 2007" event on Monday attended by over 5,200 delegates and guests from 42 countries, IPLAC dean Cesar Torres said, "Fidel Castro is the person who created this method."

The IPLAC was recognized in June by the UN Education, Science and Culture Organization (UNESCO), due to the impact of this new educational system.

More than 2.6 million people have so far learned how to read and write in 16 countries, through the program and it has been supported by over 745 Cuban methodologists and teachers.

The IPLAC rector stated this method is based on a simple methodology, using a combination of letters with numbers to teach how to read and write.

The "Pedagogia 2007" event, underway in Havana, will include among its sessions the impact of "Yo Si Puedo" program and perspectives for Latin Americans and Caribbeans with its application.
