Univision Calls Latinos to Action with “Educate Yourself, the Moment Is Now” Campaign: NBC isn’t the only major network taking stock of the nation’s education woes this year with its “Education Nation” summit, which was broadcast in September. Sunday, Univision Networks kicked off “Educate, Es el Momento” (Educate Yourself, The Moment Is Now), a seven-day multi-platform initiative to promote Hispanic educational attainment.
From workshops in Chicago, L.A., Miami and New York, to special programming, and a town hall meeting in Washington, D.C. with Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis today, the weeklong event is meant to draw attention to the issues Hispanic students face in K-12, college readiness, and high school and college completion.
