Abstract

This text[1] seeks to organise some of the areas of focus of the problematisation carried out by different vice-ministries under the Ministry of Education of Bolivia (regular, alternative, and special education, university education, science, technology and innovation), as well as with the Ministry’s research team. From this perspective, this document is a kind of intellectual recollection of different meetings, seminars, workshops held during that week of dialogue and appeal regarding the foundations of popular education present in the IEP and the Bolivian educational project established by Law 070, which strives, as expressed in the section Basis, Aims and Objectives, for “…the construction of a plurinational state and good living”.
