Through Summer Schools, educational centers in the interior added places
The demand that there has been in these first days of the 2025 Edition of the Summer Schools Program in the department of Cerro Largo is very good.
This has motivated the DGEIP to decide to add new places in some educational institutions – specifically those in the interior – that have been operating under this system since Wednesday, January 8.
“On Tuesdays and Thursdays all the schools that are involved in the Program will be attending the Club Unión pool,” confirmed Master Inspector Hilda Cruz.
“Really what draws the most attention to children are these types of activities, this opportunity to come and enjoy the pool, beyond the fact that most of the activities that the Educational Summer has are recreational-recreational, also extending to the learning that “They are trying to reinforce the teachers of the summer proposal on this occasion,” said one of the 2025 Summer Schools Reference Inspectors.
“The demand this year has been great. Most of the places are filled. Schools 10, 11 and 75 even have children on a waiting list. School 114 had places until the first day, but on the second day other children from the waiting lists of the other schools and children from the neighborhood who are signing up at this moment began to enter. The demand has really been very great and the beginning was a complete success,” he told EL PROFESIONAL Diario.
“The Noblía and Río Branco schools had a stipulated quota of 50 children,” he recalled. “In the case of Noblía they already gave us the opportunity to expand the quota to 65 children. In Rio Branco too. This information is reaching the population and children from waiting lists are being incorporated,” said Inspector Cruz.
“We believe that demand increased this year,” he summarized. “That seems positive to us because it tells us that the proposal is being well accepted by the population because the children have the opportunity to have fun and learn together in another period. Parents, for their part, have the possibility of giving their children the chance to continue learning but at the same time enjoy together with other children of their age, their school, but also from other areas” highlighted Hilda Cruz.
Another important component of the Summer School Program is food service. “Both breakfast and lunch are balanced with a menu prepared by Nutritionists and prepared by school auxiliary staff,” he reported.
“In all schools in the country, all children are eating a balanced breakfast and lunch. The menu is established day by day with all the conditions it must have for good nutrition for school-age children. They are receiving everything they need to grow healthy” remarked one of the Lead Inspectors of the Summer Schools Program in Cerro Largo.
