The school received twenty notebooks, thanks to the efforts of the Centro de Investigación y Estudios Avanzados del Maule (CIEAM).
The director of the «Kom pu lof ñi Kimeltuwe» school, Jorge Calfuqueo, arrived at the San Miguel campus in Talca to receive twenty notebooks that will enable a computer laboratory at the school located in the coastal sector of Llaguepulli, in the Araucanía region.
The donation was coordinated by the Centro de Investigación y Estudios Avanzados del Maule (CIEAM), which belongs to UCM.
«Our educational project aims to promote, develop and preserve the Mapuche culture and language so that our children feel proud of who they are, understand and appreciate their roots, practice their language and thus become part of this majority society. Therefore, when our children have access to these digital media opportunities, the idea is that they learn to use them and instrumentalize them and with that they can develop fully,» said the director.
Andrés Reyes, the head of the IT Support and Laboratories Department at the school, said that the devices would significantly contribute to the connectivity of the area located in the Teodoro Schmidt district.
«The computers work perfectly for using Internet. They are notebooks in perfect condition, which already had even more advanced tools,» he said.
The school, which promotes inclusive education that respects cultural diversity in Chile, is one of the five establishments being studied by a project led by CIEAM researcher and Doctor in Educational Sciences, Miguel Del Pino.
The initiative seeks to generate a new evaluation model for students that incorporates social justice by the year 2025.
«The community school Kom pu lof ñi Kimeltuwe, which I have been accompanying since 2016, is a private subsidized school situated in a vulnerable context. Initially, I was asked for five notebooks. However, the CIEAM coordinator, Miguel Rivera, made the arrangements and they gave us twenty,» said Del Pino.
The other schools involved in the project —funded by the National Fund for Scientific and Technological Development, Fondecyt— are located in the regions of Maule, Los Ríos and Los Lagos.
