The AVEC focuses its 10-year plan on four points such as pedagogical management, leadership, sustainable administrative management and evangelizing spaces
The vice president of the Venezuelan Association of Catholic Education (AVEC), Ángel Tovar, stated on Tuesday, October 22, that the country is experiencing a moment similar to the one recorded in 1945, when the organization was founded, regarding the need to face the challenges that were evident at that time regarding education and the work of directing minors to training.
“At that time the church had hope in education and today we continue to have hope,” Tovar stated in an interview with Radio Fe y Alegría where he added that the values of the AVEC and its trust in Venezuela remain valid.
Likewise, the professor pointed out that the 2024-2034 pastoral educational project of said association is based on the principles of Christian humanism and the keys of the Global Educational Pact; an initiative of Pope Francis that seeks to transform education in the world.
He pointed out that the “synodal methodology” – which speaks of accompaniment – will be used along with that of evangelization, “which is seeing, judging, acting, celebrating and evaluating.”
In this sense, the AVEC says that there are four great challenges on which the plan must focus: quality pedagogical management, educational spaces for evangelizing action, effective and efficient leadership, and sustainable and transparent administrative management, all under Christian values. .

Along with this, Ángel Tovar pointed out that the teaching sector must also be motivated and target the vocation of new teachers to collaborate with education.
“We believe that it is necessary to make an effort to keep the teachers we have, but also to make a new generation fall in love with them,” he said.
Currently, the AVEC has 1,052 members, of which 887 educational establishments are subsidized by the Ministry of Education and 165 are self-sustaining.
In addition, it manages 104 schools for entrepreneurship, 32 radio institutes, 52 homes, nine foundations, three community training centers, 21 service offices and nine service institutes.
