Mayor Francisco Azcué visited the locations where the School Support Program is being developed this Friday morning, which the Municipality of Concordia carries out through the Directorate of Education, in conjunction with the Departmental Directorate of Schools.
A significant number of primary school children participate in it, with the outstanding collaboration of volunteers.
“I congratulate all our children. I see that you are studying and that you are very eager to study; it is the best thing you can do. You are the most important thing we have in the city, you are our future,” highlighted Azcué, who was accompanied by the Secretary of Human Development, Sebastián Arístide.
“In our administration, education is a priority, understanding that it is one of the paths through which we will manage to change the paradigm of Concordia, and that is why we developed this Program jointly with the Departmental School Board and the outstanding collaboration of many volunteers.”
For his part, the Municipal Director of Education, Carlos Gatto, commented that they are conducting tutoring classes in different neighborhoods of the city. “At this moment, through volunteers, we are providing tutoring classes. From the Municipality, we are collaborating and providing each child with school supplies, in addition to the tutoring classes, which will help them start the school year.”
Currently, a significant number of primary school children have access to private tutoring classes; Gatto confirmed that the secondary level will begin next week, where the number of students who have enrolled amounts to 940, work that is carried out in coordination with the Departmental School Board.

In other matters, Gatto added that they are working with different municipal areas. In that sense, he stated that “fumigation is being carried out in all schools in the city of Concordia. There are more than 50 schools that will be fumigated; as of today, we have covered around 20 schools and they will continue tomorrow, Saturday, if the weather permits."
Finally, the municipal official added: “We are working on green spaces to get them in good condition together with different crews that we have organized. They are mowing the grass and getting the place in condition for the start of classes,” he revealed.
