translated from Spanish: Conafe works with certainty in community education

Guamúchil, Sinaloa.-an average of 1,000 students at the primary and secondary levels attend 120 community education leaders (LEC), better known as teachers of the National Council for Educational Promotion (CONAFE), said the coordinator Academic Odair Montoya. Since its founding in 1971, the institution has played a key role in education, not only in the formation of students, community work, combating illiteracy, but in the training of public service teachers and Private. Over the years, however, the dissemination of this important programme has been reduced. In addition to this, the change of government caused anxiety about its future, so uncertainty grew if it would continue to operate. But so far the institution has not been affected in its operation. In the case of the Évora region, the academic coordination was consulted to know the conditions in which it is found. The Coordinator reported that there is no uncertainty that Conafe disappears, because there are no problems in payments or operations, there are only changes in formats and updates.

Even in the last year there was an increase in the registers of new income, “said Odair Montoya.
