Ministry of Education (Venezuela)
[6] The Ministry is in charge of all education funding in Venezuela from a budget provided entirely by the government, and subsequently how it is spent.[2] The Bolivarian missions launched in 2003 were also seen as a success for providing outreach to improve literacy and university opportunities in rural areas.[1] Higher education facilities and individual students in Venezuela may also receive recurrent funding from the private sector for the establishment of scholarships or fellowships.However, while tuition was paid for by the government at the foreign institution, no employment support was given in Venezuela, resulting in many of the students returning or staying in the countries they had been sent to.[1] The government also sponsors CONICIT (National Science Council), which provides highly competitive funding for any kind of research or further training and education.
