"Estudiantes hispanos no han recuperado el nivel educativo tras la pandemia de Covid" Estudiantes hispanos del condado de Wake no han recuperado tan rápido el nivel educativo como otros alumnos tras la pandemia de Covid. Mr. Hernan Daza, NCPS - ESL & Migrant Education Coordinator, sat down and interviewed with Univision 40 NC to discuss the ESL & Migrant program. The article states that Nash County has managed to overcome several obstacles through the implementation of various educational initiatives, which have proven effective in addressing challenges that other counties face in NC. Data demonstrates that the county's school district has made significant strides in improving student performance, benefiting Hispanic students in particular. Many schools in Nash County have excelled in this regard, even though a substantial portion of their student body comprises Hispanics. The key differentiator appears to be the tailored instruction and data-driven approach, which has proven instrumental in facilitating student improvement year by year. checkout NCPS News Section for the complete translation.
