Professor Develops National Educational Curriculum Using JOEL Materials

Recently, MEDUCA (Ministry of Education of Panama) introduced its Work Plan for the 2009 Curriculum, particularly in the "Integral Prevention and Education in Values” area. Professor Dayra Ruiz, a JOEL team member and volunteer for LHM—Panama, was selected by MEDUCA to develop the themes of values for the primary section, especially the fifth and sixth grade. For the "glory of God" the program presented by Professor Dayra was approved and officially it will be developed in schools across the country. This program contains part of the curriculum of Project JOEL and is supported by LHM materials.

We can officially say that Panama has a program based on Christian principles and values, which had not been given previously in Panama. I am sure that only God created the conditions to make it in this way.
