The director of the state radio station and television channels, Juan Delancer said RTVD is at the service of efforts to carry out a massive learn to read and write campaign. RTVD reaches all parts of the country. A December proposal of three Catholic priests has met with much enthusiasm and politicians, and clergymen are offering their resources to end what has been called a "national shame," the high illiteracy rate in the country. It is estimated that 20% of the population cannot read or write.
