The new textbooks will reach the students’ hands on August 28, warned the Ministry of Public Education (SEP). Despite the fact that they have been involved in a strong controversy, the indigenous artist Santiago Savi has celebrated that one of his works appears between the pages of the copies.
It was through his social media account that he shared that his work “When we speak our language, we dialogue with nature” will appear in the Second Grade Multiple Languages book.
“This is how my works will look in the new free textbooks of the SEP. All children in Mexico will be able to see them in print. This painting of my own is included in the Second Grade Multiple Languages book for children to tell stories from it,” he shared on Twitter.
