  -> thanks Jessica!
agree  Simon Charass: With Jessica, "for Hispanics" not "aimed at Hispanics". It's the "aimed" that I don't like here. I thought it was clear to everybody.

Educational programing designed for Hispanic students


Explanation:

  -> Thank you, Monica.
agree  Julie Waddington: I think it's important that you've added "students" after "Hispanic"; on its own "Hispanics" sounds awkward and possibly even derogatory (at least it does in British Eng).
12 hrs
  -> I absolutely agree. Furthermore, I think "formal education[al] system" in itself is rather awkward. Thanks, Julie.
agree  arealferreiro: I also agree with Julie
