The event was attended by authorities, teachers, administrative staff, students from the university community and the general public.
The event began with a speech by Genoveva Malo, academic vice-rector of the University of Azuay, who expressed her satisfaction with this meeting, which demonstrated four decades of commitment, leadership and tireless work to transform education, not only in classrooms, but in the lives of children, young people, families and communities.

For his part, Carlos Guevara, dean of the Faculty of Philosophy and Human Sciences, expressed his satisfaction with these 40 years of experience, in which education has been transformed by placing the human being at the center of society. Throughout these years, these programs have generated spaces for joint reflection, with a special focus on diversity and inclusion, said Guevara.
Subsequently, the career of those who have played a fundamental role as coordinators of the aforementioned courses was recognized by the presentation of an agreement.
Finally, Vicente Córdova addressed those present on behalf of the honorees, emphasizing the role of the educator as a guide to inspire future generations in this beautiful occupational field.
