    Nica here! I used to work for a call center for almost a decade and I've seen a lot, seriously.. a lot of young people learning english and even a third language which is something you didn't see 5 years ago.

      We need more good foreign language education. So many potential jobs waiting if only there was a way to get people trained. The public school system really struggles to teach even basic English. There a disconnect between the education programs and the communities. Because there are so many English and French speakers in country that would be thrilled to assist, but the public system will actively discourage assistance to protect old, entrenched teachers who don't actually speak English and want to protect their jobs. I know in Chinandega a good friend was pushed out of the school system partially because she spoke better English and had access to English speakers (tons of American friends and her husband is Australian) and would constantly expose her "senior" English teachers for not knowing even basic language constructs or words. So instead of improving the system in Chinandega with access to English resources, they made her life unbearable and she accepted a better paying job and left.

      @@ScottAlanMillerVlog It's crazy! You know how I learned English? I had exposure to real English! I made friends from America and had conversations with them and I realized almost everything I was taught in "Secundaria" was wrong. There are good things this government does but public education is not one of them, sadly.

      One thing at a time. I suspect education is on the "soon" list of things to start tackling in earnest. THere is so much to be done that they can't all be done at once. Education is the future, it needs to be a focus soon.
      For kids in Granada, Managua and Leon getting English exposure is a good option. For kids in Boaco, Jinotega or Chinandega, there's basically no English speakers to interact with. Those kids are left with very few options.

    Yeah, the big issue here is lack of English however. I think that will change as they are starting to teach English in some schools and you are seeing more and more learn English schools, but there still is a huge lack of bi-lingual in Nicaragua.

      It's unfortunate that legalization is slow moving here. I suspect they are working on figuring out what to do once they legalize as you have to have a plan in place. I know it's been talked about for a while. But I've not heard any updates.

    With the expiration of the parole program; won’t there be an influx of Nicas returning from the US that should have a greater exposure to English for future hire in call centers that will be looking for work.

      Some folks will probably return. Nic’s. Have been in Fl. Since last century. There is a constant flow of Nic English speakers. Not including Nic. people, whom speak English as a first language, in the Caribbean coast. Not bad outages lately. I was there and remember the hospital or stadium electrical hook up. It was terrible 2 years ago. Great stadium and looking forward to the hospital. When I move for good, there 😂

      It's "back" but what used to be an indefinite ability to stay in the US, it's now an all but useless two year program with no possibility of extension.

    Does anyone know if a lot of Nicaraguans do call center work from their homes, or do they go into offices?

    • @ScottAlanMillerVlog
