DP teacher Introduction The country of Ecuador boasts one of the largest populations of Diploma Programme (DP) participants in Latin America with 708 DP candidates in 2011. There are currently 51 IB-authorized schools in the country, including 50 offering the DP, six offering the PYP and six offering MYP (several schools offer combinations). Ecuador has shown an exceptionally high level of support for IB education: the Ministry of Education (MOE) undertook an initiative beginning in 2006 to support the development of a DP in each of the country’s 24 provinces. Subsequently, based on President Correa’s conviction that Ecuadorian secondary education could be vastly improved by following the DP model, it was decided to dramatically expand the number of state schools participating. Because of the high level of interest of the Ecuadorian government, as well as to advance its own knowledge of school development and school transformation, IB entered into a contract with the National Center for Education, Schools and Teaching (NCREST) at Teachers College, Columbia University to conduct research on the DP in Ecuador.

Here, it is demonstrated how colonial and nation building practices and processes have attempted to silence and make absent the contributions people of African descent have made to development of the nation. Second, the Afro-Ecuadorian social movement is considered within the local, regional and global socio- historical context, and it is argued that the Afro-Ecuadorian Etnoeducación is part of a continuous struggle for freedom and inclusion in the nation as full citizens.

  • Environmental Education and Conservation in Southern Ecuador: Constructing an Engaged Political Ecology Approach
    ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION AND CONSERVATION IN SOUTHERN ECUADOR: CONSTRUCTING AN ENGAGED POLITICAL ECOLOGY APPROACH By KATHRYN A. LYNCH A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2001 Copyright 2001 by Kathryn A. Lynch ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My most heart-felt thanks go to all the people who contributed to this project. In Loja, special thanks go to Fundación Ecológica Arcoiris, and specifically to Bolívar Tello, Fausto Lopez, Arturo Jiménez, Elia Gonzales and Angel Hualpa. Their invitation to collaborate provided me a site and a focus, while their logistical support in 1996 and 1997 made it possible to accomplish all that I did. Likewise, the Fundación Cientifica San Francisco and specifically Lic. Ruth Espinosa deserve special thanks. Her unflagging enthusiasm and dedication to improving environmental education in the region is inspiring, and I am deeply grateful for all her critical input and assistance in the field in 1999. Likewise, I am thankful for the valuable feedback provided by Dra. Ketty Vivanco at the Universidad Nacional de Loja, regarding my survey instruments and research design. Without the support of parents, teachers, and school directors in the region I would not have been able to conduct this research. I am deeply grateful to them for granting me permission to interact with their students, and for the time they took to share their educational experiences as well. Likewise, without the collaboration of the students, I would have no dissertation. Therefore, special boisterous and rambunctious thanks go to all of the children who patiently put up with my questions and provided brilliant illustrations of their communities and the Park.

El ingreso del hogar est´aasociado negativamente con la probabilidad de asistencia, pero positi- vamente con su intensidad, condicional a la decisi´on de asistir. El nivel de escolaridad de las madres, su estado civil, y su participaci´onen el mercado laboral, inciden sobre el margen extensivo e intensivo de utilizaci´on de los servicios educativos, particular- mente en el caso de las madres que tienen empleo formal.

  • Contemporary Higher Education Reform in Ecuador: Implications for Faculty Recruitment, Hiring, and Retention
    SPECIAL ISSUE Higher Education in Latin America in International and Comparative Context education policy analysis archives A peer-reviewed, independent, open access, multilingual journal Arizona State University Volume 25 Number 68 July 3, 2017 ISSN 1068-2341 Contemporary Higher Education Reform in Ecuador: Implications for Faculty Recruitment, Hiring, and Retention M. Amanda Johnson College of William & Mary United States Citación: Johnson, M. A. (2017). Contemporary higher education reform in Ecuador: Implications for faculty recruitment, hiring, and retention. Education Policy Analysis Archives, 25(68). http://dx.doi.org/10.14507/epaa.25.2794 This article is part of the special issue, Higher Education in Latin America in International and Comparative Context, guest edited by Andrés Bernasconi and Sergio Celis. Abstract: Currently, there is a shortage of research on how Ecuadorian universities are coping with the contemporary reforms of higher education under the government of Correa. In 2010, La Ley Orgánica de Educación Superior (higher education law) defined the development, transparency and quality assurance of existing and new higher education institutions. This case study describes the challenges administrators have in recruiting, hiring, and retaining faculty in an environment where both fiscal and human resources are limited. The research reflects the current complexity of the higher education environment in Ecuador under contemporary reforms and creates a space for the discussion on the unique perspectives of administrators from both private and public institutions.

  • 1 the Politics of Transforming Education in Ecuador: Confrontation and Continuity, 2006-17 Ben Ross Schneider MIT Pablo Cevallos
    1 The Politics of Transforming Education in Ecuador: Confrontation and Continuity, 2006-17 Ben Ross Schneider MIT Pablo Cevallos Estarellas UNESCO IIEP Barbara Bruns CGD June 2017 2 Abstract. Recent governments in Ecuador – starting with Alfredo Palacio in 2006 and continuing through Rafael Correa’s three terms (2007-17) – have achieved impressive improvements in education quantity and quality. Enrollments at all levels – pre-school through high school – increased significantly, and Ecuador’s learning gains on the Latin American regional test from 2006-2013 were the largest in the region in reading and second-largest in math (after Chile). A quadrupling of annual spending on basic education (to reach five percent of GDP) supported the expansion of schooling supply as well as a doubling of teacher salaries. But equally important were major, politically sensitive, reforms of teacher policy. Over union objections and sometimes violent resistance, the Correa government implemented five key reforms, including higher standards for new recruitment, higher standards for entry into teacher training, regular evaluation of individual teacher performance, promotions based on tested competency rather than years of service, and dismissal from the civil service after multiple poor performance evaluations. Among the political advantages favoring government reformers were: strong public support grounded in a pervasive sense of education in crisis (first expressed in a national referendum), sustained presidential support, the commodity boom of the 2000s, continuity in the government reform team, and communications strategies that built popular sympathy for the government position against union efforts to block reforms. However, relatively few details about reform implementation are publicly available and there is uncertainty about its sustainability under the recently elected government of Lenín Moreno.

Enrollments at all levels increased significantly, and Ecuador’s learning gains on a regional test from 2006-2013 were among the largest in the region. A quadrupling of public spending on basic education (to five percent of GDP) supported the schooling expansion as well as a doubling of teacher salaries. But also important were a new focus on student learning results and key reforms of teacher policy implemented over strong union opposition: higher standards for new recruitment, regular evaluation of teacher performance with promotion based on performance (and dismissal after multiple poor evaluations). Among the political advantages favoring government reformers were: strong public support, sustained presidential engagement, the commodity boom of the 2000s, continuity in the government reform team, and a forceful communications strategy. Ecuador’s experience offers lessons for other countries seeking to improve education by focusing on student learning and the quality of teaching. 2 “Article 349.
