According to official media this Tuesday, May 16, the first courses began in art and culture, industry and construction, administration and development of enterprises, innovation and technology.
“We are starting the first training cycle. This cycle has more than a thousand protagonists in the different shifts: morning, evening, Saturday and Sunday. The most important thing is that we continue to cultivate free quality technical education under the model of restitution of rights,” said Eloy Morales, from the Tecnológico Nacional, according to propaganda media.
The Polytechnic Center, administered by the National Technological Institute (INATEC), was inaugurated on April 19, National Day of Peace, an anniversary invented by the dictatorship of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo to downplay the date of 2018 when the Nicaraguans came out to demonstrate against the regime and its failed social security reform.
