Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 6-10
Education in Bolivia, as in many other areas of Bolivia life, has a divide between Bolivia’s rural and
urban areas. Rural illiteracy levels remain high, even as the rest of the country becomes increasingly
literate. This disparity stems partly from the fact my children living in rural areas are forced to contribute
economically to their family households and thus are much less likely to attend school. On average,
children from rural areas attend school for 4.2 years, while children in urban areas receive an average of
9.4 years of education. A gender divide also exists. Females, on average, receive about 1.5 years less
schooling than males. The female illiteracy rate is 19.6% while that for males is 7.7%. The country's
illiteracy level as a whole, 13-14%, is comparably higher than in other South American countries. The
problems with Bolivia education are not necessarily attributable to lack of funding. Bolivia devotes 23% of
its annual budget to educational expenditures, a higher percentage than in most other South American
countries, albeit from a smaller national budget. A comprehensive seven-year plan of education reform has
made some significant changes. Initiated in 1994, the plan decentralized educational funding in order to
meet diverse local needs, improved teacher training and curricula, and changed the school grade system.
Resistance from teachers Unions, however, has slowed implementation of some of the intended reforms.

A. they find it difficult to learn to read and write
B. they are made to stay at home to help their families
C. they don't want to go to school

7. On average, children from urban areas attend school for _______
A. 9.4 years B. 4.2 years C. 7.4 years D. 1.5 years
8. The female illiteracy rate in Bolivia is ______
A. 7.4% B. 0.23% C. 19.6% D. 13%
9. The word "annual" in this passage is closest in meaning to ______

A. The lack of funding is the main reason for causing illiteracy in Bolivia.
