In Sekou Touré's era,
Smith (1976) reported in an interesting use of
the national colours:
District headquarters of the ruling Democratic Party were allowed to fly
pennants whose colour was selected according to the local results of the
national campaign against illiteracy:
- 50% literacy rate: red pennant
- 75% literacy rate: red pennant + yellow pennant
- 100% literacy rate: red pennant + yellow pennant + green pennant.
Smith does not give the results of the award campaign. Unfortunately,
the average literacy rate was still only 36% in 1995 (men, 50% ; women, 22%)
