Abstract
The project is implemented by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, in collaboration with the Fundación para la Educación Integral Salvadoreña (FEDISAL) and a network of partner institutions. The project's main objective is to improve educational outcomes for students in the second and third cycles, increase access to educational opportunities for out-of-school youth, and provide support for schools damaged by natural disasters. The project was initiated in 2013 and targets children and adolescents who face situations of violence, early pregnancy, economic difficulties, and limited access to education and employment. To address these challenges, the project created the Programa de Formación Integral, a comprehensive program that complements the Ministry of Education's flexible educational offerings. The program includes integrated services that enhance government and local efforts to provide educational opportunities to out-of-school populations. The project aims to support concrete actions in the strategy for attending to children and youth who want to retake their studies and obtain their certification of grade through the Prueba de Suficiencia service. The effort has resulted in the design of 15 modules for the third cycle and 10 for Bachillerato, totaling 25 documents of support for autonomous formation and the achievement of learning indicators of the study programs. The project's implementation is part of the implementation of the Plan Social Educativo 2009-2014: "Vamos a la Escuela" and the subsequent Plan Nacional de Educación en función de la Nación 2015-2019. The project's main partners are the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, FEDISAL, Family Health International (FHI 360), Asociación Institución Salesiana (AIS), Fundación Salvador del Mundo (FUSALMO), Universidad Don Bosco (UDB), Fundación Pro Educación de El Salvador (FUNPRES), and the Asociación ÁGAPE de El Salvador.
