DR1 News reported on July 8 a story from a DR newspaper, announcing that UNDP, some branch of the UN, had found the DR literacy rate to be 84%, in 2001. Permanent residents, could anyone, Dominican or foreigner, say this with a straight face? How does the UN define literacy? Who administers the tests? Assuming that "literacy" means the ability to read any 3 articles [not pictures!] from LISTIN DIARIO, any subjects, then paraphyrase 2 of 3 reasonably accurately, what is the true DR literacy rate? 25%? 30%? Too optimistic? What's your guess? Where is the American "No child left behind" program? File this UN report under "Humor - unintentional".
