Unidad de Investigación en Mejoramiento de la Calidad de la Educación Básica

The Research Unit for the Improvement of Basic Education Quality (UIMCEB) conducts research with the aim of exploring models for the training of teachers and administrators of basic education institutions, as well as pedagogical models, in order to understand and validate their impact and enable their replication in other settings. It seeks to contribute to improving the equity and quality of basic education through the development of experimental educational improvement projects, research, systematization, and the preparation and dissemination of publications. The UIMCEB designs and implements various in-service training programs, both internationally (such as the "Andean Center" or CECM, between 2002 and 2010, in conjunction with the Núr University of Bolivia and the Simón Bolívar Andean University of Ecuador) and nationally. In addition to training programs, UIMCEB has developed materials (for teachers, administrators, students, and parents) as well as educational research projects that are shared in various national and international forums.
