These establishments may present ideas to improve their infrastructure for pedagogical purposes or to develop skills in their management and/or teaching teams.
Given the context of the coronavirus crisis, which has affected the Chilean educational system in various ways due to the suspension of classes, on this occasion an additional value will be assigned to projects that offer solutions for students who currently receive classes from a distance.
“We invite the technical-professional schools in the eligible provinces to apply for their projects. We believe that this FIE application is a great opportunity to propose initiatives that address the needs of students in the context of the suspension of classes due to the pandemic,” commented José Gutiérrez, Director of Fundación Educacional Luksic.
The evaluation of the applications will be carried out by a committee of experts from outside the foundation who will analyze the initiatives.
