FUNDAEC

FUNDAEC Colombia

The Fundación para la Aplicación y Enseñanza de la Ciencia (FUNDAEC), in English Foundation for the Application and Teaching of the Sciences, is a Bahá’í inspired non-profit, non-governmental organization that focuses on training and development in the rural areas of Colombia and other countries in Latin America.

FUNDAEC was founded in 1974 in Colombia by a group of scientists and professionals led by Farzam Arbab, a physicist who had arrived as a visiting professor to the Universidad del Valle in 1970.

There are two main programs—the Tutorial Learning System (SAT), a secondary level educational system used by over 25,000 students throughout the Americas, and the University Center for Rural Well-Being (CUBR). The curriculum aims at five fields: mathematics, science, language and communication, technology, and service to the community.
