Education Ministry Resumes Administrative Services After Earthquake Contingency

Venezuela's Ministry of Education announced the reactivation of in-person administrative services, signaling a return to normalcy after a period of disruption caused by earthquakes on June 24. Citizens can now visit the ministry's main headquarters in Altagracia, Caracas, to process their applications and access various services. The ministry had temporarily suspended in-person operations to ensure safety and assess infrastructure following the seismic events that affected Caracas, Miranda, and La Guaira. Educational authorities had previously implemented special measures, including temporary activity suspensions in damaged areas, before authorizing a gradual resumption of the school calendar based on technical evaluations. In parallel, the Ministry of University Education had also adjusted its operations, moving to digital channels while its physical office underwent repairs. The Ministry of Education's announcement indicates progress in normalizing its administrative functions and restoring direct citizen services, though details on the full scope of reopened services and any structural damage to its main building remain unspecified.
