Dropping out of school is one of the biggest problems that boy, girls and young adults face in rural areas of the country, such as Muzo, a municipality that is located in the western part of the Boyac\u00e1 department, known as the \" World capital of emeralds\" 33% of the students leave their studies due to different factors: economical issues, frequent familial moving or violence.<\/p>\n
In the company of the Muzo Foundation and the Bol\u00edvar Davidienda foundation, we initiated the project: 'Un gol a la deserci\u00f3n' (A goal to desertion). It aims to benefit 220 people including boys, girls, parents and teachers in the Muzo municipality.<\/p>\n
This initiative implements educational, athletic and psychosocial strategies in the educational institution \u2018Concha Medina de Silva\u2019 and its six centers: La Isla, La Ca\u00f1ada, Sabripa, Guadualon, la Paita y Cristales, promoting education continuation and inclusion as a environmental protector.<\/p>\n
\" In the educational institution, formative actions, active methods and strategies are executed in order to promote scholar permanency and inclusion, while the beneficiaries of the project strengthen their social emotional skills to prevent perilous factors in their essential development\", says. Gladys Sanmiguel, Executive Director at the Colombianitos Foundation.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The target population is made up of boys and girls currently enrolled in school, ranging from 1-12th grade and between the ages of 6 and 18 . This project also has 16 teaches of the educational institution, who participate on skill and method transfer days.<\/p>\n
The project consists of the adaption of athletic training grounds to the inclusive necessities of the boys and girls of the area, the adaption of the methodology implemented by Colombianitos allows for an inclusive focus with children with disabilities like autism, Aspergers, Down Syndrome, Tourettes, Cognitive deficit disorder, cerebral palsy, blindness and deafness.<\/p>\n
Also, there are psychosocial training spaces for parents and\/or caregivers of the beneficiaries, to effectively involve them in the academic processes of their children.<\/p>\n
This type of initiative at the territories are strategies that allow communication spaces be created in favor of the boys, girls and young adults, helping them strengthen lifetime abilities, promote social emotional and academic skills, redefining their life plan as a way to promote the continuing and completion of their studies and even more so when their teachers and parents and\/or guardians are involved.<\/p>\n
Providing for these territories, how have historically the victims of violence, exploitation, prostitution and the violation of other rights, is of great relevance, because it allows for connections to be made with the main educators of the territory that are often forgotten by the boys, girls and young adults of the region.<\/p>\n
The Colombianitos Foundation has developed educational processes with the educational institution in a joint effort with the mining foundation MTC; a situation that favor the reception of the community and allows for the opportunity to continue the process that started in 2017.<\/p>\n

Figures and precursors of educational dropouts in Boyac\u00e1 <\/strong><\/p>\n Scholar abandonnement is a phenomenon that every educational institution needs to face head on, in the department of Boyac\u00e1 the reports that are registered in the SIMAT, corresponds in greatly to student transfers due to their parents moving away to a different department, affecting significantly the coverage of the department. This is reaffirmed by the ENDE (2019) that claims 33% of the students drop out due to forced relocation.<\/p>\n According to the informant \u2018Crecer con hechos y derechos. Primera infancia, infancia, adolescencia y Juventud\u2019 (Boyac\u00e1, 2019), dropping out in Boyac\u00e1 happens in the following manner:<\/p>\n \"The elementary school drop out rates showed an increase between the years 2015-2016. For 2015, the dropout rate was at 2.54% which equates to 1,442 students dropping out of school; the greatest dropout rate was in 2016 with 1,489 students, most of which from the urban area where the greatest amount of students are enrolled, many were actually from rural areas but were forced to relocate to urban areas to continue attending school. For the years 2017 and 2018, this relationship diminished from 2.53% to 2.07%.<\/p>\n The average level that corresponds to the tenth, eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth grade, the rate of school dropouts for 2015 increased to 1.96% which is equivalent to a total of 416 students enrolled at this municipality level that are not certified by the department of Boyac\u00e1, 228 of the dropouts are a part of the urban zone and the rest are part of the rural zone\".<\/p>\n The desertion levels of basic and middle education in the Boyac\u00e1 department is a worrying situation now that 13% of individuals over fifteen year of age are illiterate (DANE IPM,2018). This reality, worsens the inequality between the rural inhabitants. According to the calculations done by the done by the Ministry of Education, the estimation of the dropout rates from the previous year was of 2.99%. (April 2021)<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Situation in Muzo<\/strong><\/p>\n This desertion situation has added to it cultural and social characteristics that the municipality of Muzo has due to it being the emerald region causing: hierarchical power, appropriation of territory. The presence of legal companies like MTC has generated a legislation culture, stable labor and support for the need of the communities that live near the mines.<\/p>\n Sin embargo, a\u00fan se encuentran las familias de los guaqueros, familias campesinas tradicionales y se sigue presentado fen\u00f3menos de explotaci\u00f3n y comercializaci\u00f3n de esmeralda.<\/p>\n Los pobladores de Muzo hablan de un pasado de mucha violencia con un gran \u2018derramamiento de sangre\u2019 a los cuales se les sumaban los vicios del alcohol o la prostituci\u00f3n, pero, actualmente, ya no se presentan de manera evidente dichas situaciones, sino que hay una pobreza extrema en especial en las cercan\u00edas a los sectores mineros. Anteriormente, cuentan los habitantes de Muzo, cuando no exist\u00eda la empresa, la gente pod\u00eda buscar la esmeralda de manera m\u00e1s libre lo cual implicaba un derroche del dinero producido por la f\u00e1cil comercializaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n Este panorama impacta a los NNAJ que est\u00e1n incluidos de manera directa e indirecta, en las poblaciones juveniles se generan problemas de exclusi\u00f3n, falta de oportunidades, reproducci\u00f3n de la pobreza, embarazos a temprana edad, altos \u00edndices de muerte violenta, marginalizaci\u00f3n del acceso a la ciencia y la tecnolog\u00eda, a la participaci\u00f3n en \u00e1mbitos pol\u00edticos, a la recreaci\u00f3n entre otros.<\/p>\n Estas dificultades se convierten en factores para que los j\u00f3venes empieces a dejar al lado el inter\u00e9s por sus estudios e ingresen a diversos entornos de ilegalidad como redes de narcotr\u00e1fico y contrabando, prostituci\u00f3n y a grupos armados al margen de la ley como guerrillas, paramilitares, delincuencia com\u00fan, milicias privadas.<\/p>\n Seg\u00fan el DANE y sus Proyecciones de poblaci\u00f3n para el 2019, el 24,14% de la poblaci\u00f3n en Muzo est\u00e1 entre los 15 y 29 a\u00f1os, es decir, aproximadamente dos mil j\u00f3venes pertenecen a la poblaci\u00f3n muce\u00f1a para el a\u00f1o 2019.<\/p>\n La experiencia que ha tenido la Fundaci\u00f3n en el territorio de Muzo y el acercamiento con los estudiantes, docentes, familias y la instituci\u00f3n ratifica la necesidad de continuar implementando estrategias que aborden temas relacionados con las habilidades para la vida, competencias lectoras y de matem\u00e1ticas, proyecto de vida, metodolog\u00edas activas en los docentes, as\u00ed como, incluir a sus familias como sistema esencial para el crecimiento integral de los NNAJ.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" La deserci\u00f3n escolar es una de las grandes problem\u00e1ticas que enfrentan los ni\u00f1os, ni\u00f1as y j\u00f3venes en las zonas rurales del pa\u00eds, por ejemplo en Muzo, un municipio que se ubica al occidente del departamento de Boyac\u00e1, conocido como la \u2018Capital mundial de la esmeralda\u2019, el 33% de los estudiantes se desvinculan de sus […]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":9703,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9695","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-destacadas","category-noticias"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.colombianitos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-08-23-at-2.48.03-PM.jpeg?fit=1280%2C854&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.colombianitos.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9695","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.colombianitos.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.colombianitos.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.colombianitos.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.colombianitos.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9695"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.colombianitos.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9695\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9717,"href":"https:\/\/www.colombianitos.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9695\/revisions\/9717"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.colombianitos.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9703"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.colombianitos.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9695"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.colombianitos.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9695"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.colombianitos.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9695"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.colombianitos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-08-06-at-10.23.48-AM.jpeg?resize=1024%2C766&ssl=1\")
