The impulse and exercise of the principle of education, training and information

Abstract

Cooperative Values and Principles must be rooted in the idiosyncrasy of a nation, to establish the ways of its execution. The principle of Education, training and information requires a solid platform developed in an excellent educational system. Costa Rica developed a Public Policy in Education since the 19th century, whose essential content was free primary education followed by secondary education in the following decades. University education has also had the advantage of free access, in public universities or with low costs and access to information technology and digital development has allowed a university institution to function with the education method to distance. This policy together with the support for Cooperativism has allowed public and private institutions to deal with cooperative education in multiple aspects, the basic ones given by the principle, the rest by the commitment of the public authorities and cooperative leaders.
