The rector of the University of Magdalena, Pablo Vera Salazar; and the mayor of San Zenón, José Luis Méndez Becerra; signed a new agreement that increases the number of places in the municipality in the Talento Magdalena program by five. The signing of this alliance took place within the framework of the eighth stop that the ‘Route of Opportunities’ completed, which was previously in: Concordia, Zapayán, Plato, Nueva Granada, Chibolo, Guamal and Pijiño del Carmen.
The new places in Talento Magdalena agreed upon by the rector Vera Salazar and the mayor Méndez Becerra will be competed for equally between the students and graduates of high school who obtain the best individual score in the Saber 11 tests, representing each of the five educational institutions that operate in San Zenón. They will join the 97 young people from the municipality who have become beneficiaries of the program since 2017.
“Making a great fiscal effort, the administration of San Zenón has committed 60 million pesos with the signing of this agreement. We congratulate Mayor José Luis Méndez Becerra because he is investing in building a better future for his municipality by providing education to its youth,” said Rector Pablo Vera Salazar.
