Community involvement » Education
BBVA is firmly committed to education as leverage for social inclusion. In South America and Mexico the Niños Adelante (Forward, children) program of scholarships for social integration is noteworthy. The aim of this program is to contribute to the social integration of children from underprivileged families in Latin America through support for primary and secondary education. In addition, since 1993 BBVA has been organizing and sponsoring the Ruta Quetzal BBVA, which is an initiative declared to be of cultural interest by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization). In Spain, it sponsors the Teacher Action Prize, together with the Fundación de Ayuda contra la Drogadicción (Foundation of Aid against Drug Addiction or FAD) and UNESCO, in order to disseminate the relevant experience and educational projects that promote and develop teachers in educational centers around the country
