VERALL GOAL
/
MISSION
Transform the traditional teaching paradigm and propose flexible and innovative education systems to ensure the initial
, primary and secondary education of all children and adolescents Colombians , without any discrimination.
T
HE SOLUTION THAT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED
The program proposes the construction and promotion of policies, culture and practices from the following
components: 1. Awareness: it is intended that the educational community perceive, understand, accept and be enabled
to live in an open environment for diversity free from prejudices, fears or any predisposition against the difference.
Achieving this is a permanent work, through which the culture of respect for others is built, and the difference is seen as
an opportunity, not a barrier. 2. Strengthening the governing bodies of education: in this process work with officials of
the regional secretaries of education and the Ministry of Education, informing them of actions that help to build public
policies of attention to diversity, among others. 3. Strengthening and supporting educational institutions with a focus on
diversity: This process seeks to promote the formulation and implementation of actions and strategies that consider the
principles of equity, relevance, accessibility, flexibility and participation. 4. Teacher training: we have designed teacher
training processes, these allow them to know how to address the diversity of its students to develop their full potential.
