Education in El Chonco

What's Happening Today

Cuentos para Cambios's Response

The local school hosts grades K-6, but attendance is not enforced

Library is open during school hours for teachers to bring their students to encourage class attendance

Classes are often cancelled due to weather or lack of teacher transportation

The library remains open and available if school is not in session

Classrooms are overcrowed and under-resourced. Old textbooks are sometimes available, but no books of any other kind.

We provide books for teachers to check out for their classrooms. Students can choose from a wide variety of books to read whenever in the library.

A “no fail” rule has been put in place, and students are moved up a grade regardless of performance. 1 in 4 struggles to read.

Our librarian hosts a daily story hour, along with after school classes for phonics, science, math, and arts.
