We talked a lot about how bad we, as a country, in different areas. An important issue that has been said a lot is that of education on illiteracy, reading and understanding Reading: Three important sites to be developed urgently to the growth of our country ..
regard to illiteracy, the National Council on Democratization of the Book and Reading Promotion (Promolibro), presentation of the National Book and Reading shows optimistic figures: only 3% of youth illiteracy in 14 to 24 years. However, the deep slopes of the reality in front of international assessments leave serious doubts about what they learned in schools. The survey "Reading habits and informed citizenry in the Peruvian population 2004 " shows that over 18 million people in Peru, 26% of them says not to read. The rest (74%) reaches to read on average, slightly more than one book a year.
What happens is that the Peruvian hereby acknowledge the positive role of reading but not reading, at the same time, has the knowledge acquired from school but not exercising. That is, the functional illiteracy. (National Book and Reading in Peru Virtual Preliminary Version, 2006)
Given this functional illiteracy, Promolibro offers clear solutions but long term. Along with this official project, carried out different experiences, complementary, free and for further expansion and social media. Talk about a specific starting point is our city The International Book Fair.
Known as IDF, international book fair is perhaps the biggest cultural event of the entire southern region. Draws attention so very pleased that your organization have joined the main centers cultural city with two universities and municipal and regional governments. Quite an achievement in meeting and joining forces for a common goal.
IDF this year available to the public over 30 thousand books by the arrival of more than 50 writers guests, national and international. In addition IDF involves the work of people engaged in various cultural media including film, music, theater, among others, offering a feast of contemporary culture at the reach of all Arequipa, income is free and Fair is installed in a completely accessible to the public: the park Umacollo Free Speech.
nothing else, bring an event of this category to our city is a great success. Encouragement of curiosity or distraction, many people will approach IDF and have access to different types of artistic activities, will be in contact with books and may choose one, which is important because prices are not very high and large number of titles suggests that at least meet the minimum expectations of all types of readers, even non-readers. Activities like this nurture and attract. Suman. And it's important in a country like ours, such efforts add up to a common goal: to grow, intellectually, economically, culturally, socially, an event that brings all these features, then applauded, welcomed, rests and all involved. Thus we grow. So join. To quote the slogan of IDF this year, grew up reading. Yes
