Espacios para Crecer (Spaces for Growth)

Because the Dominican school day is only half a day, DevTech Systems and its subcontractor, ENTRENA, developed a four-hour "after-school" program, "Espacios para Crecer" or "Spaces for Growth," which included assistance in helping children to reach their natural grade level (most children are either repeaters or have dropped out), sports, art activities, and practical and life skills.

Funding provided by the United States Department of Labor under Cooperative Agreement number E-9-K-3-054 financed the development of these materials. The numbered special guides complement the numbered modules. In addition, the microenterprise training modules used for vocational education under this project are also available below.
