He emphasized that the best resource that our country has is the human one and therefore the collective work that is done to give all possible opportunities to educators in academic training, and also in vocational and educational training. With the Institute for Education there is also a collaboration of other entities so that through them what the prospect offers are really high quality opportunities for educators and therefore fosters learning communities of the highest level while instilling education with equity and social justice.
