A graduation ceremony was held at Unidad Educativa Nanegal, where 27 students completed their high school education. The event brought together graduates and their families to mark the end of their academic journey and the beginning of new responsibilities as members of their community.
Freddy Tapia, the district director, addressed the graduates, saying: “Ante ustedes se abre un mundo de posibilidades; su título es la llave, y su ética, perseverancia y disciplina serán el motor que impulse su éxito.” He emphasized that resilience and commitment were key factors in reaching this milestone.
Carlos León, principal of Unidad Educativa Nanegal, told the students: “Ustedes son el capital intelectual que nuestra tierra necesita para florecer. Confiamos en que, al convertirse en profesionales, regresarán a su raíz para retribuir con su talento el desarrollo social y económico que nuestra parroquia merece.”
During the ceremony, family members placed stoles on the graduates as a symbolic gesture marking their achievement. The moment was accompanied by expressions of hope for the future.
Alejandra Yepez, who graduated at the top of her class, reflected on her experiences with classmates: “El futuro puede dar miedo, pero si algo nos enseñó esta etapa es que somos capaces de esforzarnos, de levantarnos y de lograr lo que nos proponemos. Que nunca perdamos esa alegría, esa unión y esa valentía que nos caracterizó.”
The Subsecretaría de Educación, Deporte y Cultura de Quito congratulated all new graduates from educational institutions in Régimen Costa Galápagos 2025-2026. The agency stated that graduation is not only an academic achievement but also a step toward becoming citizens prepared to contribute to social and economic development.
