Speaking of literacy…

…it's something we desperately need to improve in Kazakhstan, according to this plea from the U.S. Department of State for help in furthering it, literacy, to wit:

This twelve-month long program will provide media literacy and anti-disinformation training in English to audiences in Kazakhstan using the English for Media Literacy and English for Media Literacy for Educators Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) designed by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA).

We applaud this effort, as we are certainly pro-anti-disinformation, ourselves. Although we are pretty clueless about MOOCs. It does sound like something they will appreciate in Kazakhstan, though.
