“We come from a time when 33 schools were closed because the authorities of the Province said that they could not be sustained.

Meanwhile, Espinoza emphasized that “this institute in Virrey del Pino should have been opened a long time before, but we were unable to do so because for four years policies prevailed that lowered the budgets allocated to education.”
“Today is a very special day because, after having gone through the pandemic, we can create a space in which our neighbors build a better future, in which they have the possibility of making their dreams come true,” he said.
