Basic education: challenges for post-pandemic Ecuadorian education

Abstract

After the pandemic and the changes that it produced in education, a series of challenges are emerging for what education is going through. The objective of the article was aimed at analyzing the implemented innovations in education in the post-pandemic, through bibliographic research; for the identification of existing challenges. It was based on research with a qualitative approach, using a descriptive approach with a bibliographic analysis of information, for which documents from the last five years were selected. The main results obtained highlight countries that have created protocols for progressive face-to-face returns, the Organization of Ibero-American States (OEI) suggested different percentages of return to classes depending on each country. Hybrid education is presented as an innovation, insisting on not returning to the traditional style of education, but rather readapting these activities with the technology that was part of the pandemic. It is crucial to highlight the effort that each country makes for face-to-face return, seeking strategies to reduce digital gaps. A hybrid education is proposed, accepted by all countries, but not very executed due to the adjustment of existing budgets. It is concluded that tax education is the most affected by the lack of resources in the Institutions and the economic situation of each family.
