RURAL EDUCATION IN COLOMBIA, IMPACT AND CHALLENGES: AN UNPRECEDENTED HISTORICAL DEBT

Abstract

Rural education, as it is often called due to its implementation in rural areas, does not present any relevant or distinctive changes compared to the education offered in urban areas. For this reason, on this occasion, a way was sought to orient the processes toward a new perspective on current experiences, where a hybrid teaching method (in-person and technological perspective) is present, wrapped in the demands of society in its education. From this arises the present objective: to provide theoretical considerations on rural education in Colombia, its impact and challenges, from an unprecedented historical perspective. The methodology relies on qualitative research, focused on documentary and argumentative analysis, presented in an academic essay, resulting from a systematic review of documents and experiences raised in educational institutions in the rural sector. This review reveals a set of knowledge, strategies, resources, and arguments that can be used in rural institutions to consolidate plans, programs, and projects that promote new ways of teaching. Rurality has evolved, and every day we see teachers looking for alternatives to help students in rural areas adapt to new environments, influenced by the advances, changes, and transformations that have left significant marks on                            today's society.
