The Teodoro Gómez de la Torre Educational Unit in Imbabura hosted the Curricular Strengthening Workshop on November 18, 2025. The event brings together teachers and education authorities from the three Education Districts of Imbabura for two days of training, ending on November 19.
The workshop runs from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and aims to improve pedagogical skills in public, semi-public, and private schools across the province. This initiative is part of the National Strategy for Curricular Strengthening and Renewal, involving around 400 participants who are preparing for the implementation of a Competency-Based National Curriculum.
Key topics addressed during the sessions include civic education, ethics and integrity, socio-emotional education, financial literacy, sustainable development education, and road safety and sustainable mobility.
Jorge Flores, vice principal of Unidad Educativa 17 de Julio, said: “Now the teachers can put into practice, through their planning, the implementation of this curriculum. I thank the Ministry of Education and Zonal Coordination 1 for organizing these trainings that allow us to update ourselves and provide quality education.”
The Ministry of Education, Sports and Culture promotes tools for applying a prioritized curriculum based on socio-emotional, mathematical, communication, and digital competencies. The goal is to strengthen educational quality at all levels: Early Childhood Education, General Basic Education, and Baccalaureate.
