Educational milestones reached by graduates in Aruba and Argentina
In Aruba, the 20th group of the Social Formation program (SVT-20) received certificates at the San Nicolas School of Art. The ceremony was attended by Prime Minister Mike Eman, Minister Mervin Wyatt-Ras, and Parliamentarian Jennifer Arends-Reyes. The program, which began in 2010 in cooperation with the Dutch Ministry of Defense, focuses on providing discipline, responsibility, and personal development to youth seeking professional and personal direction. The Marinierskazerne Savaneta played a key role in providing guidance and discipline during the training.
In Escobar, Argentina, 85 students completed their secondary education through the Plan FinEs program. During a ceremony at the Teatro Seminario de Belén de Escobar, graduates shared stories of overcoming personal challenges, such as balancing work, family, and studies, to achieve their diplomas. The program allows individuals to return to the classroom and complete their studies after various interruptions.
