- Summary:
-
To supply the large number of workers qualified for complex jobs, a demand created by the growing needs of a rapidly growing population, Colombia must make provisions for an expanded system of higher education. This can be accomplished by sending students abroad to study at the university level. The large number of students coming to the United States to study requires adequate training in English-language skills before they leave Colombia. The Colombian-American Linguistic Institute (ILCA) was created to improve the development of these skills through the creation of textbooks and the retraining of English teachers. Lack of continued financial support reduces the work of the Institute and creates the need for help from other sources. The state of Florida has been quite active in the teaching of English as a foreign language; and the Florida-Colombia Alliance, an organization sponsoring scholarships for Colombian students studying at Florida colleges and universities, should work to have the state university system of Florida use its resources to help with the work of the ILCA.
