Dear Friends and Project Supporters,
Educación 2020 is closing this Project in order to focus on it’s new project, “Improved Education for Chile's Vulnerable Students” (#22187).
From all of us at Educación 2020, and all the students and teachers who benefitted from this project, we want to thank you for your collaboration!
Highlights of this project include supporting the implementation of an innovative educational model called Tutorial Networks (“Redes de Tutoría”) in seven vulnerable schools in the Araucanía region. In a September 2015 report, UNICEF included Tutorial Relationships among the 4 learning models that have changed the learning paradigm in Latin America. The model comes to life through a one-on-one “tutorial relationship,” in which a tutor guides a student through her own process of learning through reflections and questions. Students themselves then become the tutors and the knowledge transfer continues. This method emphasizes the development of autonomous learning skills, and evaluations show that students who learn via the Tutorial Relationships model build self-confidence and significantly improve academic performance. This model has been successfully implemented in thousands of schools in Singapore, Thailand, Mexico, and San Diego, and is now enriching vulnerable classrooms in Chile through the efforts of donors like you!
Another highlight of this Global Giving project was its support for efforts to improve Chile’s technical education system. At present, Chile’s technical schools have the highest percentage of vulnerable students, the poorest academic quality of all post- secondary education programs, and no organized student government groups. In addition, technical education programs are not aligned with current private sector demands. To address these deficiencies, Educación 2020’s Communications Team launched a national awareness campaigns in 2015 called “Mejora La Técnica” (“Improve Technical Education.”) The campaign includes social media, videos, print materials, infographics, and interactive web platforms that encourage critical debate from a diverse group of citizens. They also create a space for citizens to share ideas, opinions, and proposals related to Chile’s technical education system.
While this Project has come to a close, we hope that you will check out our new GlobalGiving Project, “Improved Education for Chile's Vulnerable Students” (#22187).This project will help us to improve learning outcomes for 4,000 vulnerable students in Chile’s poorest regions.
Thank you again for your generous support, and we hope you’ll visit our GlobalGiving page again!
