He indicated that these community centers were installed with the accompaniment of the Ministry of Health in Sinaloa, and as one more option to combat the risk of school dropout that has been detected in 1 in 10 children and young people in the state.

The state official explained that on April 12, in a session of the School Technical Council (CTE), the teachers discussed the possibility of installing a CCA in their school and later raised it with the families. After a consensus between each of the members of the educational community, they would determine that the school would participate in the strategy.

Subsequently, Coepriss would undertake training via zoom for parents, as well as staff of educational facilities in compliance with the cleaning and disinfection guidelines.

“It is voluntary, it is not mandatory for the teacher, nor for the mother of the family. If the educational community considers that it is an option for them, then, as of April 26, it would be happening. Very important, as long as the state epidemiological traffic light is yellow. The Community Learning Centers do not represent a return or reopening, it is one more option against dropping out of school ”, he emphasized.
