The third driving force of President Hugo Chávez' revolution will be activated Wednesday with launching of formation workshops for brigade members and advertisements in the media.
  
People's Power Minister of Education Adán Chávez -a brother of the Venezuelan ruler- stressed that the campaign "Morals and Enlightenment" is aimed at transforming the curriculum of Venezuelan education, as well as the integral training of teachers.

Amidst uncertainty regarding a reform of the laws governing education, particularly in connection with likely indoctrination at schools, the official said: "We should not be afraid of changes in the curriculum. We intend to instill values of equality, unity and solidarity in Venezuelan education."

As to claims that Venezuelan education would be "Cuba-styled", Chávez replied: "We must be genuine and not copy anyone. We seek integration and respect the specifics. We are building an education model of our own," he told the official news agency ABN.

Replying to persistent rumors, Chávez assured that private education would not be eradicated in Venezuela. "We are launching a process under which education in private institutions will have to include a significant socialist content, as established under the Constitution. We are also calling for respect for all religions, and this is the reason why education must continue to be laic."
