Improving education to combat inequality
- Computers for Peace program to be implemented in Colombia following agreement between MEN, FAN and CAF.
- The partnership will help over 4,000 children gain access to a more comprehensive and inclusive early childhood education.
"Access to quality education by all sectors of the population is fundamental for combating inequality, which is the great future challenge for Latin America. This requires not only good academic programs and qualified staff but also physical and technological infrastructure appropriate for public education institutions," CAF President & CEO Enrique García said.
The heart of this partnership is establishing an early childhood education in Colombia with quality and equality by implementing ICTs as a means of building capacities and improving learning for children.
"We believe this program is a key initiative for strengthening education. What is important here is to expand the program with support from our Ministry around the country. It is a wonderful project which we will support with all our energy," Education Minister María Fernanda Campo said.
The agreement - signed by CAF President García, FAN director Luz Amalia Botero, and Education Minister María Fernanda Campo - is in line with the Ministry’s objectives for the current four-year period in terms of the coverage and efficiency of the education currently provided in the country.
