The National Government is making progress in the recovery of the Simón Bolívar State Educational Unit, located in the San Blas Commune of the Sucre municipality, which will soon be converted into a comprehensive educational complex.

The Minister of Education, Héctor Rodríguez, said that this transformation seeks to guarantee pedagogical continuity, since it has been demonstrated that in schools where children can study all their academic levels there is less dropout and direct access to education within their own communities is facilitated.

“This institution is one of the 526 schools that are recovering simultaneously across the country with resources approved by President Nicolás Maduro and in continuity by the president in charge Delcy Rodríguez. In the specific case of Miranda state, under the management of the government, more than 38 campuses are intervened, of which 35 belong to the Sucre municipality,” Rodríguez explained.

In addition, according to a press release, the head of the educational portfolio emphasized that 1,700 schools have been rehabilitated in the last two years and assured that the deployment will not stop until the country's last educational institution is fully recovered.

The minister pointed out that efficient infrastructure recovery must be added to a comprehensive effort to raise educational quality and increase school enrollment, which currently reaches 6 million students.

In this regard, he urged a house-to-house deployment to attract children, especially in the preschool stage. He explained that, although there is a culture of starting initial training at home, this is only feasible if there is a responsible adult and optimal conditions; otherwise, it is imperative that children join educational institutions.

In Miranda, this goal covers 467 spaces distributed in 68 communal circuits. Rodríguez called on communes to commit to identifying children with special needs who require specialists, as well as those who have left the system due to critical family situations, addictions or extreme poverty, in order to provide them with personalized attention and return them to the classroom.
