• Updated curricula • Learning standards • Student assessment • Elimination of access barriers • Expansion of early childhood education
• Teacher Evaluation: In-service teachers & teachers interested in joining the public education system • Teacher training • Teaching standards • Increase of ‘tenure’ positions (nombramientos)

1. Legal Framework New Management Model
Decentralization will bring service to the people.
To decentralize management, the country has been divided into
nine administrative regions, 143 districts, and 1,200 educational
circuits. This will bring educational services closer to the
communities, which will aid in expediting and ameliorating
procedures, designating positions for teachers , rationalizing the
educational proposal, and resolving conflicts.
1. Legal Framework Intercultural education
Appreciating cultural diversity is fostered in the classroom.
Cross-curricular multiculturalism is ensured in the entire
education system. Similarly, ancestral people and
nationalities access culturally- and linguistically-
relevant education through the offering of Bilingual-
Intercultural Education in ancient languages.
1. Legal Framework Revaluation of teachers
Teachers need to be valued to enhance the quality of education.
The new salary steps is based on merits, with promotions tied
to training, evaluation, and academic degrees in order to
improve the quality of the education system. The new Law in
Education (LOEI) places the Ecuadorian teacher on the same
level as public servants in the country, increasing their
contributions to social security and guaranteeing both a higher
reserve fund and a more dignified retirement.
1. Legal Framework Professional development
An education system cannot be better than its teachers.
A National University of Education will be
created in order to both professionalize
teachers, administrative staff, and management
as well as to support the National Education
System with its new needs of human talent.

1. Legal Framework Ongoing assessment of the education system
Evaluate, evaluate, evaluate… to improve.
The National Institute for Educational Evaluation will carry out through
internal and external evaluation of the national education system to
determine the quality of education, all of which are based on set
standards.
1. Legal Framework Family participation
Families contribute to students’ education.
Traditionally, teachers and students have been the main actors
of the educational process. However, the LOEI not only
includes families and schools, but it also creates “scholastic
governments” as a formal request for participation, supervision
and peaceful conflict resolution in every school. These
‘governments’ are comprised of authorities, teachers, students
and their families.
