About 3000 schools in 12 districts of Argentina joined chess to their educational program. Some for more than two decades, as the City of Buenos Aires, and more recently increasingly used for the training of boys-sport game, which the great masters, as the champion Oscar Panno, develops "all characteristics of the boy's mind: memory, analysis, including responsibility. " The National Chess Program of the National Social and Educational Policy at the Ministry of Education's Office provides the institutional framework for each province to replicate the program in their jurisdiction. "The national ministry provides teaching materials: a kit of ten games, magnetic board and books for teaching chess," said program coordinator, George Bergier. The education portfolio also provides training to teachers across the country so they can teach the game. "We do not have title of professor of chess, and who give the classes are players with a vocation to teach, to which is about giving the minimum educational expertise, "said Bergier. As stated
Bergier, the National Education Act suggests that schools have full-time, so they implement activities that contribute to cognitive process. "The motto is that the whole day is not more of it," said Bergier. The chess classes are free and optional, but that does not detract from or call them. Bergier said that national meetings should set a filter, because they can get to join "50 thousand kids."
In the City of Buenos Aires is held every Saturday in a school chess match that brings together between 200 and 300 boys. Gustavo Eagle is one of three coordinators of the program under the Ministry of Education and Buenos Aires was created in 1989 by then-Secretary of Culture and former Minister of Education, Daniel Filmus. "We have 50 teachers and 160 schools, with an average of 40 students per classroom," said Eagle.
The workshops run once a week, both day schools and simple. According to Eagle, in full-time often have "90%" of students. "Some guys take two months, others a year, and others follow." Eagle, who shares co-ordination with Reid and Marcelo Daniel Justel, all trained in the field of chess then teaching, said he did not compel the children to competition and the tournaments are only those who want to participate, without any pressure. "The idea is that all may learn and not make champions," he said.
"Boys are taught to play. The younger ones start from scratch with a special teaching that we were forming in these 20 years of work, stories, songs, games, pre-Games, until they learn to play, "he told the Eagle. Source
