A rural school in Telsen, Chubut, has become the 34th of 41 schools originally built by Ford that the automaker has renovated through its long-running education initiative.

Ford Argentina inaugurated the remodeled School No. 95 Rodolfo Ragucci on Aug. 20. The project formed part of “Education for a New Tomorrow,” a program launched in 2003 to renew schools built between 1968 and 1982 under the company’s “Ford for Education” program.

The renovation aimed to create a safer, more comfortable and more sustainable setting for students. Workers replaced the existing outdoor patio floor with a smooth new surface and added sports equipment, expanding the ways the area can be used. The project also introduced new spaces for learning, recreation and student activities.

Transforming a school changes more than its physical space. It expands the possibilities to learn, play, share and grow.

· School teaching staffThe teachers described the broader purpose of the renovation during the school’s reopening.

The ceremony brought together provincial and local authorities, Ford Argentina representatives, dealership Pedro Corradi, which sponsors the school, as well as teachers, students, families and other residents of Telsen. Student musical performances and a fair with recreational activities closed the event.

“Transforming a school changes more than its physical space. It expands the possibilities to learn, play, share and grow,” the school’s teaching staff said. Marcelo Ramos, Ford Argentina’s general communications manager, also emphasized the people who use the facilities every day: “We are really very happy to carry out this renovation, but let us not lose sight of the fact that the most important people are the teachers and students who will enjoy the facilities. Buildings do not teach and patios do not learn.”
