Inclusion for Special Needs Children in Ecuador

Inclusion with love!

By Priscilla Morales | Directora

The year 2025 represents a new challenge for our educational community. After almost 30 years, we no longer want adolescents and young people without opportunities in the future. We are therefore energized to be part of those who create knowledge and new opportunities for these children, who, upon graduating from Nova in seventh grade between the ages of 12 and 15, can no longer continue. Nova is developing an important Youth Project that has already implemented preparatory activities as part of the project itself, which will likely begin in April of this year, 2025.

It is impossible for these young people, for the most part, to have access to pre-employment preparation opportunities, even in our setting, as part of an inclusive education system. If they exist, they are very scarce and too expensive.

We are working with proposals that connect academic and pre-employment training, which they need to learn from an early age, always linked to their comprehensive development from various personal perspectives. Today, more than ever, we reach out to you with this new path and the hope that there are people who want to be part of the future of these young people and their families, who will become individuals who contribute to their families and society and not rebellious members who threaten the peace and future of their lives and that of those around them.

Thank you, and even more so if you, or through you, can give us the support we need to continue this work.

Nova is developing new projects

By Priscilla Morales | Director

Nova is developing new projects in a new school year that allow us to continue with inclusive educational work. This is still a difficult challenge, since each family faces economic difficulties that they decide to resolve by leaving adolescents and young people without educational continuity. Many of our students lose the opportunity to continue studying and have pre-employment training, staying at home or working in a social environment that is unsuitable for their future and that of their family.

Nova, which has been working for 29 years in inclusive training with a current post-pandemic population of 85 students, of which each seventh level manages to include at least 6 of the 15 students who are between 12 and 18 years old, 7th level students leaving at least 5 or 6 adolescents without finding academic and social continuity, and aware of this difficult reality for our students, NOVA undertakes a new project

“NOVA “A step forward” which aims to open a pre-employment training space for these students, who without leaving the academic reinforcement still necessary and according to their needs has started an important training process in “PROTOCOL AND CATERING and ETIQUETTE” activity that is already completing 2 months until October and we continue in this month of November, with great hope of achieving in them this year an interest and adequate training that will surely be a great tool for their future.

Of course, it is very important for this new project to continue with more time for reinforcement and preparation, not only for students but also for teacher guides, since their learning needs require it.

THANK YOU for being aware of our work. Today, more than ever, Nova and its inclusive educational continuity require your interest and really your support.

Don't stop watching us and helping us!
