abstract: 'Formal education represents one of the main determining factors in
|
|
|
|
poverty reduction. Different authors remark the relationship between
|
|
|
|
knowledge, incomes increase, and living standards. It represents a
|
|
|
|
crucial factor in an individual socioeconomic situation at present and
|
|
|
|
in the future. The main characteristics of development include:
|
|
|
|
education, health and economy, which are important factors in the
|
|
|
|
achievement of sustainable social development. In this line, the United
|
|
|
|
Nations Millennium Development Goals (UNMDG-2000) and the Sustainable
|
|
|
|
Development Objectives agenda highlights the need of promoting universal
|
|
|
|
education not only as an objective, but also as a means to reduce
|
|
|
|
poverty since it is considered as an investment that contributes to the
|
|
|
|
economic growth, social development and reduction of inequality. In
|
|
|
|
Ecuador, these objectives have been developed under the National Plan
|
|
|
|
for Well-being. According to its executors, it has achieved remarkable
|
|
|
|
results in the majority of its objectives and goals, including the
|
|
|
|
increase of the basic education coverage.
|
|
|
|
This descriptive and correlational research is aimed at determining the
|
|
|
|
Ecuadorian (5-75 years old) perception of education and poverty.
|
|
|
|
Socio-demographic characteristics marked by its condition of being or
|
|
|
|
not are analyzed in order to identify the peculiarities and differences
|
|
|
|
between these two groups and relate them to the development objectives
|
|
|
|
set by the government.
|
|
|
|
The Employment, Underemployment, and Unemployment Survey (ENEMDU 2015) -
|
|
|
|
INEC has been taken as a reference in the study, and it is important to
|
|
|
|
mention that it uses standardized variables of the ILO International
|
|
|
|
Labour Organization, thus making the results comparable internationally.
|
|
|
|
The analyzed variables are: age, racial group, language, educational
|
|
|
|
attainment, attendance, school day, educational establishment, activity
|
|
|
|
and inactivity condition, computer and technological Access, natural
|
|
|
|
region, state assistance, among others.
|
|
|
|
The most important results obtained in the research include the gap
|
|
|
|
between the attendance and the achievements according to the educational
|
|
|
|
attainment. The poor show a major percentage of attendance and better
|
|
|
|
results regarding the culmination of their study period in basic and
|
|
|
|
primary school. However, in middle and higher education, this percentage
|
|
|
|
is higher among non-poor people. The former situation can be influenced
|
|
|
|
by the state assistance and public policies implemented such as the free
|
|
|
|
distribution of school uniforms and lunch, as well as other benefits
|
|
|
|
given by the public institutions. The second major result is the fact
|
|
|
|
that most of these poor people belong to certain ethnic groups such as:
|
|
|
|
indigenous, afro-ecuadorian, black, mulatto, and montubio.
|
|
|
|
Based on these results, it seems that public policies which focused on
|
|
|
|
improving access to education of the poor population show encouraging
|
|
|
|
results in basic and primary education. However, they also show the
|
|
|
|
existing inequity in higher levels of education between mestizos and
|
|
|
|
white and other ethnic minority groups.'
