Occupational field


Formal education:

The initial education teacher plays an important role, he is the one who carries out the educational proposal of an institution and the possibility of generating his own. The following scenarios are considered:

  • Inclusive initial education centers and attention to diversity (public and private)
  • Early care and stimulation centers (public and private)
  • Initial level educational units (public and private)
  • Intervention centers for children from 0 to 5 years old with educational needs.
  • Foundations and associations for children

Non-formal or community education:

It presents an excellent opportunity to build knowledge from the proximity of a community, valuing the culture that surrounds the learner. The development scenarios are:

o Childhood development projects: Growing up with our Children (CNH)

o Community projects (public and private)

         o Educational projects generated with community leaders such as Decentralized Autonomous Governments, Parish Councils, etc.
