The change in the required course of study is meant to instill into students "the true values of a society, the concept of socialism," said Wednesday Minister of Education Adán Chávez.

As stated by Chávez in "En Confianza," a morning show aired on official TV channel Venezolana de Televisión (VTV), there is not need to fear the syllabus reform.

"It is not that we are going to inject communism into children since they are born. It is just including in the required course of study, from primary education through the university level, the true values of a society, to educate on what socialism is," he explained, as quoted by official Agencia Bolivariana de Noticias (ABN).

In his opinion, the reform is urgent because education should fit into the new domestic state of affairs.
