I wonder what % of the 6 million will be used to actually teach the children. Let's hope that they do not teach economics as taught in Argentinas schools.LMAO

“No Money Pepe” got this ‘accolade’ from me for NOT paying the agreed teachers increase in pay because (all together now) HE HAD NO MONEY!

THAT is how much he 'values' education, never having completed his secondary schooling himself. He is clearly illiterate and innumerate.

Being able to speak English, or as the kids themselves prefer ‘Americano’ English, is guaranteed to send them abroad for a better life and escape the punitive personal and business taxes so loved by this execrable ‘government’. If the Broad Fraud Party stopped emulating their mates in The Dark country by taking bribes and downright theft, these taxes could be reduced.

I hope IDB insists that prospective teachers and facilitators are properly trained on how to use the hard and software involved. In the case of the Ceibal I programme, this was not the case.

Good to see these kids will be learning English. It will help them later in life.
