Sins of Ecuadorian High Schools
... The education in high school is mediocre; the preparation for the university is not enough. ... However, this is not the teachers fault, the Ecuadorian state does not provide money for the preparation for the teachers. ... It must be a change in mentality in the Ecuadorian teachers; there is new technology appearing and the rural areas that are abandoned, the lack of teachers in those zones cause the close of a large number of schools. ... However, we have to be realistic that in a poor country like Ecuador most of the primary schools and secondary schools do not have computers especially in the rural areas. ... The teachers have nothing to do with that since they are not the one who equips the schools. ... Now the Ecuadorian state is going to give a subsidy of 400 dollars to the teachers who want to acquire a computer. ... This is very contradictory with an article in the Magazine “Samborondon” where he mentioned that the infrastructure is good except from the schools that have been damage by the winter. ... The majority of parents in this country do not have the economical position to do something like that, limiting some schools progression.
