In June, we completed deliveries of educational materials in Cochabamba, including basic electronics materials to the primary schools in Arbieto and Tarata. This kit consists of an “Electroexplorer” learning kit, designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of electronics and robotics through hands-on, interactive exercises.
In Arbieto, once the delivery was completed, a four-session training course began for a group of 19 children. This course was made possible thanks to a partnership with the Bolivian Catholic University of San Pablo, and is taught by students and faculty from the Mechatronics Engineering program as part of its “Inspire UCB” program. A training manual will then be developed for use with the kit in all participating schools.
This initiative is part of the program that Global Humanitaria is carrying out in 24 schools in Vacas, Tarata, and Arbieto, with the goal of improving teaching processes for the development of skills in reading and writing, logical-mathematical reasoning, science, and technology.
Difficulties in basic learning
The report ” Educational Situation in Bolivia ” (Bolivian Campaign for the Right to Education 2024) reveals that seven out of ten children in third grade and eight out of ten in sixth grade have significant difficulty understanding the content of what they read, a limitation that affects their ability to develop critical thinking and connect concepts, which is essential for lifelong learning. In the area of mathematical reasoning, according to the data, eight out of ten third-grade students and two out of three sixth-grade students are at the lowest levels of performance.
