      abstract = {From an ethnological standpoint, this study contends that  the construction and implementation of a gender-based  literacy program that empowers adult education learners in  rural or semi-rural (hybrid) areas in Algeria must consider  the context of the Arabic-Islamic tradition.In her research  Anne Laaredj-Campbell examines the educational situation of  women in the Haut Plateau by using methods derived from the  field of ethnology. The author endeavors to take a look at  the literacy practices and their theoretical implications  for empowering women in Algeria. To date, there are no  empirical studies on adult female literacy in Algeria that  focus on the cultural construction of gender and  empowerment. A gender approach to education is committed to  establishing reasons for the deficiencies of literacy among  women.
