If the late great Hugo Chavez was still among us he would be pleased.

They are coming out of the darkness in which the oligarchy kept them, at long last.

As Sam Knause said, Chavez would be genuinely so glad to see the deep, important work is going on, regardless.

More from Polly's original post:


154,371 people studying with the mission have also received scholarships of small monthly payments. Currently, 5.583 indigenous Venezuelans are studying with the mission.

According to higher education minister, Ricardo Menendez, a total of 2.6 million people are studying university education, a figure that is well above the 617,000 who were studying in 1999.

He also announced that the government is considering restructuring the Mission Sucre campuses so that they become “universities of the communes and [students] propose projects that support their communities”.

I pray the parasite won't stop them before the desperately needed gains have been made, enough to stabilize the progress necessary to take that country out of the sleazy, greed above all, classist, racist state of the past.
