The Politics of Transforming Education in Ecuador: Confrontation and Continuity, 2006-17

It all began in 2006 with the Educational Revolution, when Rafael Correa assumed the presidency and launched an ambitious plan to transform Ecuador's education system.

Since then, investment in basic education has increased in 2007, improving infrastructure and the resources available to students.

In 2008, the Organic Law on Intercultural Education (LOEI) was passed, promoting a more inclusive and equitable education.

Since then, the Ten-Year Education Plan (PDE) has been established in 2009, with clear goals to improve the quality of education in the country.

In 2010, Ecuador participated in the Second Regional Comparative and Explanatory Study (SERCE) to measure student achievement in the region.

Later, in 2011, the National Institute for Educational Evaluation (INEVAL) was founded to conduct teacher and student evaluations.

Therefore, in 2013, changes were implemented in teacher training, focusing on professional development and performance evaluation.

This bore fruit in 2014 when Ecuador participated in the Third Regional Comparative and Explanatory Study (TERCE), showing progress in student learning.

In 2015, the National University of Education (UNAE) was created to train educators and ensure quality teaching.

And in 2016, the SER Maestro assessment was launched, which sought to measure teachers' performance in the classroom.

But in 2017, the government legally dissolved the National Union of Educators (UNE), sparking controversy and resistance among teachers.

And finally, in 2017, Lenin Moreno assumed the presidency and faced the challenges of continuing the educational reforms implemented by Correa
