The Ministry of Education, Sports and Culture’s Zonal Coordination 7 has provided new technological equipment to 26 educational institutions in the Zapotillo district, located in Loja province. The equipment includes projectors, speakers, and laptops.
This initiative is part of a national program aimed at reducing the digital divide and modernizing educational environments. The goal is to give teachers and students access to multimedia resources that can enhance the teaching and learning process.
Favio Villamizar, zonal coordinator for MINEDUC, stated: “The delivery of this equipment not only represents an improvement in physical infrastructure but also an evolution in our students’ didactic methodology. As a government, our commitment is to continue improving the quality of education and today we are here to make it a reality.”
Emily Cueva, a student at Barón de Humboldt Educational Unit, expressed gratitude for the new technology. She said: “This delivery will allow us to strengthen our classes; now we will have tools that we will undoubtedly know how to make the best use of.”
In addition to receiving new technology, students and teachers from Barón de Humboldt Educational Unit presented their work on an environmental reforestation project called “Los Guayacanes.” This initiative aims to promote environmental care and tourism in Zapotillo canton during the blooming season of guayacan trees.
Yojani Rueda, leader at the educational institution, commented: “Our students feel motivated by the work being done on this project; what is important is contributing to their development and raising awareness about the importance of caring for our nature.”
