Un buen inicio: Indicadores de buenas prácticas de AEPI en Puebla, México

Abstract

The general framework of this thesis was the EDUTODOS Project. Progress and limitations of the Education for All: policy of educational agenda, the trend of educational inequalities, and the quality of democracy in Latin America, of the Interdisciplinary Group on Educational Policy (Autonomous University of Barcelona and University of Barcelona). Specifically, it was studied the relationship among the first of the Objectives of Education For All, the Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE), and the reduction of social inequalities in Mexico. Currently, the Non-schooled Initial Education (NSIE) is the main ECCE strategy applied in that country. The aim of this research was to develop a profile of indicators of good practice in ECCE in contexts of social inequality in the State of Puebla, Mexico. After reviewing the most relevant literature on the subject, it was described the status of ECCE in the world and its relationship with the reduction of social inequalities. It was developed a proposal of indicators of ECCE in contexts of social inequality that was called Model of Indicators of Good Practice in Early Childhood Care and Education. Finally, based on the proposed indicators, and as a result of the fieldwork, common factors were found in experiences of good practice in ECCE in Puebla and it was developed a profile of indicators of good practice in ECCE in contexts of social inequality. It was concluded that good practices are embedded in contexts characterized by inequalities in demographic, economic and socio-cultural areas, and that some of these inequalities are compensated by the good practices of the NSIE program.
