This coming Sunday, El Salvador will celebrate 203 years of independence and some of the main streets of San Salvador will be the stage for more than 2,200 students from 15 public and private educational centers to parade.
The students will honor their country with a civic act and will be accompanied by peace bands and traditional cheerleaders and dancers who will perform different choreographies.
The student parade will go along Roosevelt Avenue, from the Beethoven fountains to Cuscatlán Park. In addition, civic parades will take place in the rest of the municipalities of the country.
“Around 2,200 students will participate, both from the public and private sectors, and there will also be 423 teachers waiting for the organization. As the Ministry of Education, it is an honor to participate in this civic parade, in this true independence that we are experiencing in El Salvador,” said the Minister of Education, Mauricio Pineda.
