Mérida, Yucatán, March 25, 2023.- In the following to the agreement signed between the Secretary of Education of the Government of the State of Yucatán and the Instituto Natura México to strengthen the basic learning, from March 21 to 23, teachers and administrators. received mathematics training in PERST Math, a model developed by Canadian experts and tested in European and Latin American countries.
The premise is part of the pilot test that will be applied in the next 2023-2024 school year to 2,177 first-year students in the schools of the State Education System.
