CE Graduates Initiate Teacher Training Course

A group of 34 CE graduate students enrolled in the IHG's renewed teacher training course, offered in response to the request of the graduate students themselves. Among them were those who contacted their church, student, or other type of civic group to survey their interest in receiving a workshop or seminar on the Georgist remedy for Nicaragua. As the results were encouragingly positive, the students expressed their desire to prepare themselves to be able to give presentations to these interested groups. In the orientation meeting on April 2nd, students took turns explaining why they were interested in continuing their study of the Georgist remedy and the IHG's teaching method. Young and old expressed the desire to make a positive change in Nicaragua by teaching enough of their countrymen to bring the question of the single land value tax to serious consideration at the national legislative level. The news initiative of the graduates was accompanied by meetings and presentations by leaders of various civic groups in Nicaragua, including the Red de Consumidores, Movimiento Comunal, and a leading Nicaraguan economist, Nestor Avendaño. The IHG has proven that it can teach as many students as it has space and resources for. The next step is to build up the pyramid with the participation of new teachers and new allies such as have been consulting with the IHG in recent months.

34 CE graduates attended the advanced "Maestría" course orientation at the beginning of April.
