The Paraguayan Ministry of Education and Science (MEC) and the Paraguayan Football Association (APF) signed an agreement to develop an educational model for courses at the National School of Physical Education (ENEF).
At ENEF, classes will be given to access A, B and Pro licenses, according to the new categorisation established by the Coaches Licensing Convention (CLE).
The courses will be taught under the criteria of Conmebol, with prior authorisation from the Vice Ministry of Higher Education and the Vice Ministry of Basic Education. The academic offer includes “Higher Technician in Field Soccer”, “Specialised physical preparation for field soccer”, and as Professional Training Level 2: “Technician in Sports Massage” and “Sports Technician in Field Soccer”.
The Minister of Education, Luis Ramírez, said that this is a first step for the School of Physical Education to meet international demands. “We need a dynamic of training and education for these trainers and teachers that includes neuroscience, emotional management, coexistence, socialisation, knowing how to speak, communication,” he said.
The agreement was signed by the minister, the general secretary of the APF, Luis Kanonnikoff, the vice-minister of Basic Education, David Velázquez, and the director of Development of the APF, Douglas Martínez.
