Escuela Nueva

Escuela Nueva, or New School, is an educational approach that originated in Colombia in the 1970s. It focuses on student-centered learning, encouraging active participation, collaboration, and critical thinking rather than traditional rote memorization. This model emphasizes the development of social and emotional skills alongside academic knowledge. It serves diverse communities, often adapting to local needs and contexts, and promotes inclusive, experiential learning. The goal is to create a more engaging and effective educational experience for students, preparing them for active citizenship and lifelong learning.
