Transforming Education in El Salvador: A Talk With the FMLN’s Israel Montano Osorio and PARCEO’s Donna Nevel
Over the last five years, under El Salvador’s first leftist government, Salvadoran’s have seen a massive rise in social investment, particularly in education through the implementation of free school supplies and school meals, and a national literacy program. El Salvador’s teachers’ unions have been instrumental in supporting this education reform. Join NYU’s Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS) , the North American Congress on Latin America (NACLA), and the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador (CISPES) for a night of discussion with educator and secretary general of El Salvador’s oldest teacher’s union, ANDES 21 de Junio, Israel Montano Osorio and NYU’s Donna Nevel. The discussion will be moderated by Shirley Lavareda. They will discuss the possibilities of tangible, inspired education reform in El Salvador, and the struggles for a just system of education faced by communities in El Salvador and the United States.
