Improvement of the socio-educational conditions and institutional strengthening in the Cotacachi Educational District
The "improvement of the socio-educational conditions and institutional strengthening in the Cotacachi Educational District" is an initiative promoted by the Esquel Foundation NGO with financing of the Junta de Castilla y León and International Cooperation NGO of Spain. The initiative is carried out through the methodology of a "minga" (collective work for the good of the community) where the educational community participates to reach the goal that the children of the canton who are part of the bilingual intercultural education - primarily indigenous children - have access to quality education and do not abandon their studies. The work plan contemplates three main ideas for activities: the adaptation of infrastructure and facilities of bilingual intercultural schools (Span. EIB); the strengthening of institutions and training of teachers in teaching methodologies with techniques to improve their classes and levels of education; and the sensitization to the educational community (teachers, parents, and students) on the right to education for boys and girls. This initiative was carried out jointly with the Intercultural Bilingual Undersecretariat and its technical team and the Cotacachi Educational District Coordination, from October 2015 to October 2016. The project sought to benefit 3190 indigenous children, educational authorities, teachers and parents, in addition to 34 educational units and community networks.
