In the Aragua region of Venezuela, local authorities initially focused on recognizing academic excellence by awarding the ‘Escudo de la Victoria’ to 111 high school graduates for high grade point averages.

Efforts subsequently expanded to broader educational reforms and institutional support. In San Sebastián de los Reyes, Aragua, officials met with school directors and distributed technological equipment to improve administrative management. Nationally, the Ministry of Education announced measures to strengthen university careers, including the expansion of academic responsibility bonuses to contract teachers and full-time faculty. Proposed initiatives also include a system to reincorporate retired professors, research scholarships, and support programs for new university teachers.
