| Abstract | When Ethiopia launched its National Literacy Campaign (NLC) in July 1979, it was announced that illiteracy would be removed from the urban areas of the country by 1982 and from rural Ethiopia by 1987. By the end of the 12th round of the NLC in February 1985, 16.9 million youths and adults had been covered by the campaign, and 12 million (almost half of them female) had earned literacy certificates after passing a test. These impressive results do not mean, however, that the program does not still have a long way to go. The NLC's most important characteristic may be its mode of mobilization. The program is based on a two-layered structure, i.e., a flexible campaign structure undergirded by a permanent institutional structure. Emphasis of the program is on literacy and the dialectic role between development and literacy. Commitment from the program participants is obtained through a series of pledges to eradicate illiteracy through teaching or learning. Underlying the NLC's pledges and slogans is a system of structures and incentives and disincentives. Institutional arrangements for demand and use of adult education services at the field level exist in the form of Peasants' Associations (PAs) and Urban Dwellers' Associations (UDAs). Postliteracy instruction is provided through reading rooms, radio broadcasts, night schools, and distance education. The program is funded jointly by the government and people. It is concluded that the program serves as a lesson for those countries that are waiting for ideal conditions to launch literacy campaigns. Endnotes are provided. (MN) |
