Timor-Leste suffered years of strife that left the majority of its schools in ruin. Regaining independence in 2002, the island nation faced a crippling 50 percent illiteracy rate. Zelia do Rosario, a certified teacher and Applied Scholastics educator, is introducing an effective study methodology that’s helping one of the world’s youngest countries lift itself out of the darkness of its past.

About Zelia do Rosario
Zelia do Rosario was born in an impoverished area of Timor-Leste, where she had to walk an hour and a half each day to attend primary school. With a desire to be the best student, she memorized her school materials to pass exams – after which she forgot it all and so, in effect, didn’t learn anything. After achieving her lifelong ambition and becoming an educator, she learned of Study Technology, a system of studying developed by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard. Realizing she finally discovered a methodology anyone could use to truly master any subject matter, she embarked on a mission to introduce the system throughout the nation. Today, the Applied Scholastics Center she helped establish in Timor-Leste educates university students who, in turn, have gone on to empower 34 percent of the country with Study Technology.
