Training in rural areas

this Agency, the teacher César González and representatives of the different public and private institutions involved in the project. THE AREA The project is being developed in Clara, a town located 80 km from the departmental capital; and affects an extensive rural area consisting of ten communities. These are villages outside urban centres, very small in size (845 inhabitants in total), with a scattered population, a low level of infrastructure—they mostly don’t have drinking water or electricity—, difficulties accessing secondary education, illiteracy and situations of informal employment and seasonal labourers. With regard to the transfer possibilities, the access roads to these villages are precarious, prone to flooding and the public transport service only serves two of the ten villages reviewed on a weekly basis.

“This is the first UTU proposal of educational continuity with a joint public/private work meeting its objectives very satisfactorily”, said Cesar Gonzalez, Councillor of UTU.
