Construction of the Tejarcillos Educational Center
The Self-Managed Construction of the Tejarcillos Educational Center became a priority for the community, given the number of school age children, the saturation of enrollment in nearby schools and the discrimination of children from newly located settlements in the canton, who are considered as strangers or "nicas" (Nicaraguans). The construction of the Tejarcillos Educational Center is the result of a participatory diagnostic process on the needs of the community. This center meant not only the construction of a building but a place that would bring together diverse activities around the education of the children and the incorporation of the parents in an alternative education scheme. The entire hierarchy, design and construction process was finished under the self-management methodology, with a high component of participation from the neighbors and the application of self-management practices with the institutions. As a result of this initiative, more children in the community attend school and fewer drop out of school.
