| A few hours later ... The students start to design an interesting statistic to show on the day of the project |
|
 | Well, as there are three levels of education, I'm going to talk about the primary and secondary level plus the introduction of the topic, do you think it's okay? | |
|
| it's great, so it's up to me to talk about the tertiary level and give a small conclusion about the topic, I think we have to introduce the teacher | |

| The research work is presented to the professor of Sociology |
|
| Miss Rodriguez this is the work we want to present on Saturday to support the project "Education is Art" of the University | |
|
| Excellent work, very interesting are the data they provide, congratulations | |

| Saturday came, students expose their research work |
|
| Education is a right but at the same time a duty, according to the law, must be free, everyone should access education and we see these cases very prominent: Primary Education Education has not always received the recognition it deserves in Paraguay. These days this is changing as political stability returns, although the poorer children in more rural areas still are not reached by the same opportunities, especially in terms of hours per day at school. As a result 10% to 15% of them are still illiterate. The 6 years of primary school start nominally at age 7, and education is mandatory through to age 14. Secondary Education The secondary school program that is split into 2, 3-year phases is not well regarded by the local people who prefer to send their children across to Chile if they can afford it. This is causing conflict between educational authorities, which the Education Minister of Paraguay is addressing by improving local facilities at home. | |
|
| Adding to what my colleague is saying I can say that we practically have the same problem with the tertiary level. Tertiary Education The tertiary education system in Paraguay does not enjoy widespread recognition despite the government having introduced a number of new institutions in recent years. As a consequence, brighter students go overseas in search of world-class degrees, find work there, and remain away. And so the vicious cycle of mediocrity rolls on. The solution strategy that we can share from our research is the following: The educational system should create spaces for students to express and shape our personalities through our skills and abilities, which allow us to create innovative, current, interesting projects using the technology of our environment to make learning more meaningful | |
