In Eritrea,a small country in northeast Africa,approximately 80 percent of the population is illiterate.That percentage is even higher for women.As in many developing countries,most Eritreans have traditional ideas about the role of women.They believe that women should stay home and take care of the family and should not get an education or look for a job.
These beliefs are one of the factors that prevent Eritrea and other developing countries from improving their economic situation.Experience in many countries has shown that educated women have fewer children and have more opportunities for improving their lives and the lives of their families.In Eritrea,in fact,there is great need for improvement.It is one of the poorest countries in the world.For many Eritrean families,getting enough food is a daily problem.
To deal with these problems,the Eritrean government,together with the World Food Program,has a new program that offers food as a reward for learning。In primary schools,all the children receive food packages to take home to their families.However,with the new program,the girls receive 50 percent more food than the boys.This way,parents are encouraged to send their daughters to school rather than keeping them at home.
Another government program that aims to educate women is Food for Training.Managed by the National Union of Eritrean Women,this program offers food rewards(also from the World Food Organization)to women and older girls who are willing to join the program.Because of the war with Ethiopia,many women are bringing up their families on their own.They often live in refugee camps,with no land of their own and no way to earn money.Most of these women are illiterate and have no skills to find a job.They spend most of their day looking for food and preparing it for their families.
The Food for Training program helps the teenagers and women change their lives.If they agree to join the program,they receive a large package of food each month.In return,the women are required to attend free literacy classes for two hours every day.When Food for Training started with classes in two regions of Eritrea,5,000 girls and women joined in the first two months.It is especially popular with teenage girls,aged fourteen to sixteen,who have never had a chance to go to school before.
The organizers of Food for Training also plan to offer other kinds of courses for women,using the same system of food rewards.In these courses,they will teach women job skills and crafts such as basket weaving.These women will not only learn to read and write.They will become aware of what is going on in their country,and they will be able to have a voice in their future.
The new literacy programs are an example of
选项
A、the work of 5,000 women and teenage girls.
B、the Eritrean government working to keep its power.
C、10cal and international organizations working together.
D、the problems with international aid organizations.
答案
C
解析
文中第三段第一句话讲到“为了应对这些问题;厄立特里亚政府与世界粮食计划署一起,发起了一个提供食物以奖励学习的新项目。”此外,第四段第一、二句话也提到“致力于教育妇女的另一个政府项目是通过接受训练而得到食物。此项目是由厄立特里亚全国妇女联合会主办的,旨在为自愿加入联合会的妇女们提供食物(也有来自世界食物组织的)奖励”,可知额;厄立特里亚新的文化项目是通过当地政府和世界食物组织共同努力来实行的,故选C。
