Technology/STEAM Education
Students and families in Federal District schools may face delays or reduced quality in promised STEAM education programs; taxpayers bear the cost of potentially fraudulent spending; reduced public trust in government education initiatives.
Likely increased scrutiny of NGO contracts and government procurement processes; potential strengthening of oversight mechanisms for public fund disbursement; possible audit requirements for educational technology partnerships; investigation may lead to contract cancellations and recovery proceedings.
