SURA Foundation firmly believes that alliances constitute a key component that allows us to benefit more people. Therefore, our programs are conducted in alliance with other organizations that share our same purpose: building a better society through quality education and by promoting culture and art.
Our belief is that education is the path for a better life and teachers are the pillar to achieving it. Providing comprehensive and quality education is fundamental for children and youth to develop their maximum potential, regardless of their origin. Therefore, our projects focus on the development of skills, attitudes, aptitudes, and basic values for academic and personal growth for each and every one of our beneficiaries.
In alliance with this program, work is done to reduce educational inequalities. Enseña por México establishes intervention groups where a young professional (PEM –Teach for All Professional) is assigned to a school located in a vulnerable community for a period of two years. During this time, the PEM works with the school community and implements comprehensive education strategies so the students may reach their maximum potential.
