Less than 40% of young Uruguayans get a high school diploma. That percentage clearly shows that ensuring completion of formal stages of education turns out to be one of the main challenges faced by our country.

The fact that so few students finish high school, is the clearest sign of an underlying problem that spreads across the entire education system: poor Uruguayan kids, lack the basic skills and competencies to excel in high school and continue on to university.

This year, we will be supporting programs focused on deep learning by:

Financing the salary of the specialized teacher for elementary and high school students at the Asociación Madres de la Cruz.
Offering annual scholarships for elementary students at Colegio San Adolfo (Fe y Alegria).
Providing rural schools in Soriano and Cerro with learning resources by partnering with Edúcate Uruguay.
Implementing a systematized intervention in five after school clubs to strengthen reading and writing skills as well as logical-mathematical abilities.
Funding innovative initiatives at the Technological Junior High School of the Colegio Don Bosco.
Supporting Los Pinos, an education center offering after school support and employment training programs in Casavalle.
Channeling funds for the construction of a sustainable classroom for environmental education training courses offered by “Una Escuela Sustentable” [A Sustainable School].
