Under the project, the country will target a literacy rate of 96% for people aged from 15-60 and 98% for those who are aged from 15-35 nationwide by 2015.

The rates for the north-western, central highlands and south-western regions would be 90% and 92%, respectively.

The country plans to enhance quality and expand operations of public learning centres and training centres, along with upgrading facilities for distance and e-learning.

Half of pupils and students across the country will be trained in life skills at their schools and more workers will pursue such studies.
