On January 11, 2005, U.S. Ambassador H. Douglas Barclay gave remarks at the closing ceremony of a four-day teacher-training course on the Culture of Lawfulness Program.

Education Minister Darlyn Meza and the President of the National Council of Public Security (CNSP) Oscar Bonilla also spoke at the ceremony.

In the ceremony, 45 public school teachers were certified as having completed the necessary training course to teach the curriculum of the Culture of Lawfulness Program at the 9 th grade level.

The Program is run by the Washington, DC -based National Strategy Information Center in cooperation with the Salvadoran Ministry of Education and the CNSP.

The Culture of Lawfulness Project is aimed at altering cultural attitudes towards crime and corruption, serving as a complement to more traditional law enforcement efforts, and promoting the idea of respect for the law as essential to sustaining democracy.
