Propuesta de modelo educativo flexible que contribuya a disminuir el trabajo infantil y la deserción escolar en los estudiantes de la vereda San Miguel del Distrito de Buenaventura

Resumen

The San Miguel village of the Mayorquín river is located in the rural area of the Buenaventura District; It is a community where child labor is seen as a cultural practice that is transmitted from generation to generation, and it is necessary and indispensable to meet family and personal expenses. Hence the need to create a flexible education model to reduce child labor present in said community. To achieve the objectives of the research, three techniques were used: interview, observation and life stories with the consent of the parents. The foregoing showed that these rural families are deeply rooted in their customs, including child labor where School becomes a second option causing school dropouts. It is intended that these families see in education a possibility to get out of vulnerability and have new options based on knowledge.
