This programme was specifically designed for the Ibero-American region. It covered 556 rural schools serving 25,934 students and 1,197 teachers in 13 participating countries. As a first experience, we have been able to validate a technical intervention model in these 13 countries: the validation aspect is sound. The scope is very broad not only quantitatively but also qualitatively: dealing with the very different and diverse realities of Latin American countries was a challenge as internal functioning and dynamics of cooperation with governments and ministries, and also the role of private enterprise varies from one country to another.
