This Tuesday morning, Francisco Azcué received Florencia Casabella, president of said institution. The meeting was attended by the Secretary of Human Development, Sebastián Arístide, and the Director of Education, Carlos Gatto.
During the activity, the Mayor referred to the importance of prioritizing equal access to education and literacy in all sectors of the city. “This implies starting to change the paradigm and transforming the matrix of Concordia. That is why our idea is to work with all institutions, with teachers and volunteers, accessing tools and experiences that have already worked in other locations. In this case, with a program that would allow, after a survey, to develop a literacy and school support action for children and adolescents who require it”
Azcué highlighted that in the Education axis, his government program includes work together with organizations in the territory, understanding that in each place different strategies must be generated.
Florencia Casabella, president of the “Potenciar Argentina” Foundation, maintained that the reception she received from the mayor and his officials was very positive, highlighting the importance of being able to incorporate a literacy program in the most vulnerable neighborhoods. “We belong to an organization that thinks about the value of education to be able to transform realities, and that is why we believe it is relevant that an articulation be made between the State, civil organizations, and neighborhood organizations that are already supporting boys and girls in school support, education, and literacy, and that they can be provided with tools, pedagogical resources, and manuals that they can use to successfully carry out this process”
Casabella added that presence in the territory is fundamental to be able to have reach and representativeness and to be able to talk with the people who, ultimately, are the ones suffering from the problems today. “Throughout these years, a huge network of civil organizations has been generated that work and support people in their needs; not only in education but also in food, sports, and health. And in this direction, it seems to me that being able to carry out this program from the municipality is to give legitimacy and value to all that work that is already being done”
For his part, Carlos Gatto, municipal Director of Education, stressed that it was a very important meeting, as it is the beginning of an action in the different districts of our city. “Soon we will be meeting with the more than 70 volunteers who have joined this initiative and will be accompanying us in this literacy process that we will begin. On this occasion, we have also summoned this foundation that already has work done.
In this direction, Gatto maintained “I highlight this core idea of Francisco Azcué, of considering that education is the basis for moving forward; it is welcome that our government officials truly have education as a fundamental axis for the development of a city”.
