During the first 100 days of administration, we have focused on establishing a solid platform for an inclusive and dynamic educational policy that addresses the needs of all sectors of society,” stated Carlos Gatto, Undersecretary of Education.
GENERAL OBJECTIVES
Regarding the general objectives in terms of educational policy, the following were outlined:
To favor and promote, through coordination actions with other institutions and Directorates, the organization and development of training proposals that complement and enrich the training provided by the formal education system.
To foster the integral development of children, adolescents, and youth, including the deployment of academic, cultural, and social proposals.
To establish strategic alliances with various sectors and entities to enrich the educational process and strengthen community ties.
To promote pedagogical innovation and the development of life skills in a complex and changing environment.
To collaborate in actions that contribute to the improvement of the green spaces of school institutions.
HIGHLIGHTED ACTIONS
