National holiday. Education is the path Algeria chose after independence. Universities built, literacy campaigns launched, children sent to school in droves. The nation decided to learn. From a literacy rate below 15 percent at independence to over 80 percent today, the transformation was driven by political will and popular hunger for education. The University of Algiers, founded in 1909, became the model for a network of universities that now spans every major city. The tradition of learning in Algeria is older than the university, though: the Zawiya of the Mzab, the madrasas of Tlemcen, the Quranic schools of the Casbah all predate the French. Knowledge is not new here.
You traverse Tajikistan's mountain ranges and encounter Central Asian snow leopards, Bukhara deer, and Marco Polo sheep.
