Dozens of projects are part of a rescue program for abandoned initiatives left by previous governments. The program includes the restoration of hospitals, stadiums, bridges, and educational centers across the country.
One of the most recent to join this list is the República de Venezuela School. After nine years of abandonment, it has been recovered and recently inaugurated by President José Raúl Mulino and the Minister of Education, Lucy Molinar.
The educational community of Calidonia has finally received the new and modern infrastructure of the school, which will benefit students and teachers with facilities designed for quality public education.
Modern Infrastructure with Educational Technology
Authorities reported that this educational center was built with an investment of $21,837,390.73 and will have a capacity for 672 students. It stands out for its cutting-edge technology, which includes a closed-circuit system, internet connectivity in all classrooms, and digital projectors to strengthen teaching processes.
The República de Venezuela School has 28 theoretical classrooms, as well as specialized laboratories in computing, language, music, art, and family development. It also has an equipped library to promote knowledge, research, and creativity.
Spaces for Sports and Comprehensive Training
The modern facilities include a school cafeteria, administrative area, kiosk, and a gym on the third floor with multi-use courts and separate locker rooms, promoting sports and healthy coexistence.
Additionally, the school has support classrooms, psycho-pedagogical offices, a teachers' lounge, and a maximum classroom for academic and community activities.
Mulino Highlights the Rescue of Educational Centers
President José Raúl Mulino stated that the inauguration is part of the government's effort to complete unfinished works.
"It is a great pleasure for me to inaugurate projects, to see that schools, hospitals, roads, and stadiums are completed for the community," expressed the head of state, who recalled that this school symbolizes the struggle of teacher guilds during the military dictatorship.
Mulino added that the government has completed nearly 50 educational centers and continues to advance in more projects, in addition to promoting an educational reform that prepares young people for future challenges.
"We must work to reduce the gaps in access to knowledge and for public education to match private education in technological tools," he highlighted.
Quality Education for New Generations
For her part, Minister of Education Lucy Molinar indicated that the project fulfills a long-awaited dream of the educational community and strengthens an inclusive education in line with the 21st century.
She also made a call to students, teachers, and parents to take care of the facilities, remembering that the school is a heritage built for the present and future of new generations.
Student María Ramos, on behalf of the student body, thanked the authorities for the new school.
"These facilities are very beautiful, but the most important thing is that here we are going to learn, grow, and fulfill our dreams," she expressed.
After the ribbon-cutting and the unveiling of the commemorative plaque, President Mulino, along with Minister Molinar and Director Iris Amaya, toured the school's classrooms accompanied by students, teachers, and parents.
