Building on UNESCO's declaration of cuarteto as intangible cultural heritage, the Córdoba government has made it a mandatory part of the school curriculum. Two school directors assess its educational value, classroom impact, and implementation needs to foster cultural identity.
Following UNESCO's declaration last month of Córdoba's iconic cuarteto genre as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity, the provincial government has mandated its inclusion in the school curriculum. This policy aims to transmit cultural roots to younger generations and reinforce local identity.
Directors from two provincial schools emphasize cuarteto's utility in connecting students with their heritage, predicting impacts like heightened pride and cultural engagement in classrooms. They stress the importance of teacher training to ensure a sustainable, effective pedagogical approach.
Framed within education's role in heritage preservation, the initiative seeks to link youth with their musical and social traditions. Experts believe that thoughtful implementation will make this a enduring enhancement to students' learning.
