However, every year more schools are added and, this year 2020, 32 educational centers will benefit, with a number of 4,293 students of the I and II cycle, which is equivalent to a total of 17,172 books. Through “Libros para todos”, monitoring is carried out in schools, in which teachers and principals participate, with the aim of measuring the impact of the donation on students, the class, teachers and educational performance in general.
Grupo Acón is committed to generating economic, social and environmental value with its operations. Investing in education is part of the pillars of the company’s Social Responsibility strategy; so it is key to support a program like Books for All.
