Provide quality education to 1750 youth in Panama

Today more than ever, Enseña por Panamá works to promote quality education in every corner of the country. In 2020 we managed to directly impact the lives of more than 1,900 students and 2,000 teachers of the official system. With the experience and learnings of five years, last year we transformed ourselves to respond to the new educational challenges through three lines of action:

• Distance education for students
• Virtual training for teachers from all over the country
• Training of change agents

We are going for much more! Working together, we are getting closer to achieving our mission: a quality education for all children and adolescents in Panama.

“Education is the only tool capable of eradicating ignorance, combating mediocrity, confronting discrepancies, going beyond racism and social distinctions, ensuring the future and forming men and women with ideals. I want to express my gratitude for his noble work, starting with his dedication to my learning, for sharing his wisdom and for pushing me to be better every day. Thank you for that hard work and for taking the time to teach us great life lessons. Thanks!"

HOLA AMIGOS! Thank you for your important contributions! 

 Today more than ever, Enseña por Panamá works to promote quality education in every corner of the country. In 2020 we managed to directly impact the lives of more than 1,900 students and 2,000 teachers of the official system. 

With the experience and learnings of five years, we transformed ourselves to respond to new challenges through three lines of action:

• Distance education for students
• Virtual training for teachers from all over the country
• Training of change agents

Working together, we are getting closer to achieving our mission: a quality education for all children and adolescents in Panama.

1,955 students were benefited through the work of the 35 participants of the educational leadership program implemented during 2020.The following graph shows the platform used by the participants to provide academic and socio-emotional support to their students during 2020:

The Educational Leadership Program was adapted to virtuality and continues to operate normally with monthly training sessions and spaces for coaching and pedagogical accompaniment. This 2020, 15 participants completed the program successfully and they join the Alumni movement of Enseña por Panamá.

“To guarantee a quality distance class it was necessary to work with empathy and let my students know that I am here to guide them. Another very important thing has been to seek the support of parents; they are our great allies. We still have a lot to contribute but we have opened our eyes to the great restructuring that education in our country requires. And now we also know that working together we are stronger”.

Program fellow, Generation ExP 2020.
