Mission Sucre

Mission Sucre is one of the Bolivarian Missions implemented by the late Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez. The program provides free and ongoing higher education to the two million adult Venezuelans.
Mission Sucre was originally referred to as El Plan Extraordinario Mariscal Antonio José de Sucre, shortened as Misión Sucre. Named after the eighteenth century independence leader Antonio José de Sucre, Mission Sucre establishes as a strategy the mass education and graduation of university professionals in three years, as opposed to the traditionally mandated five or more years.
Mission Sucre imparts tertiary education; other educational missions include Mission Robinson and Mission Ribas.
