  8. Weaknesses of our programme • Not enough lessons per week • Great amount of preparatory work for the teacher • A lack of political recognition means that we do not have the necessary financial support

  9. Strengths of our programme • Individual support • Fast progress using the method of “reading by writing” • Small learning groups • Specially qualified teaching staff • Participants can stay for more than one year without getting bored • Classes are split up into two groups: beginners and those who can already read and write but need more time
