also come to Equatorial Guinea. We have cultural exchange programs and offer
internships to students coming from abroad. Through our PRODEGE program, we
have teachers from primary schools that go to Latin America to take courses to refine
their teaching skills.”

programs are helping the education system and show Equatorial Guinea’s teachers
