As part of its commitment to education and social development, Drummond Ltd. closed the first year of the High School with Drummond project, an initiative that seeks to strengthen the academic training of young people and adults in municipalities in its area of influence in the department of Cesar.<\/p>\n\n

This project is a continuation of Alfabet\u00edzate with Drummond, which since 2019 has enabled more than 3,700 people in the municipalities of Bosconia, Agust\u00edn Codazzi, Becerril, Chiriguan\u00e1, El Paso and La Jagua de Ibirico to learn to read, write and perform basic mathematical operations.<\/p>\n\n

In this first year, 200 people from Chiriguan\u00e1, El Paso and La Jagua de Ibirico completed a training cycle that brings them closer to obtaining a high school degree, reflecting the positive impact that access to education has on their quality of life and personal growth.<\/p>\n\n

With this training, Drummond reaffirms its commitment to strengthening the quality of education in the territory,” said Amal\u00ed Blanco Boh\u00f3rquez, coordinator of corporate social responsibility projects at Drummond Ltd.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The project, developed in partnership with Comfacesar, within the framework of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #17 (partnerships to achieve the goals), seeks to close educational gaps and open new opportunities for the inhabitants of the communities near its operations.<\/p>\n<\/div>

“I want to thank Drummond for the opportunity it has given to us adults to achieve one more grade in our schooling, something we needed to perform better in life,” said Jos\u00e9 Catalino Ditta Rivera, a participant in the project.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

During the process, the participants were permanently accompanied by educational agents who, acting as teachers, generated a close environment conducive to learning. “We are going to thank Drummond because without them this would not have been possible,” said Eidis V\u00e1squez Guar\u00edn, the project’s field coordinator. <\/p>\n<\/div>
