Student overcrowding in the Unified General High School of the city of Cuenca-Ecuador

Abstract

The Fray Vicente Solano Educational and Fiscal Unit is located in the city of Cuenca-Ecuador, considered an institution of great prestige and long history serving the student community of young Ecuadorians and foreigners. The problem of this research is the excessive number of students crowded into the classrooms of that institution, due to the lack of attention and control by the regulatory bodies of the Ministry of Education, which assign high numbers of students to the educational units, this brings negative effects on the academic performance of students. The objective of this study is to design an improvement plan that will benefit those who are educated in this educational institution. On the methodological level, the research is of a descriptive type with a quantitative approach, the same as the one that will apply the deductive method, for this reason surveys are developed aimed at both students and teachers of the campus. The results show that a greater interest and correct analysis by the Ministry of Education would reduce more quickly and effectively all the negative effects found, along with this, having fewer students in the classroom, there would be greater interest on their part to study, for this reason it is imperative to implement a plan for student improvement. With the elaboration of this research, the Educational Unit will be able to recover its academic level of excellence which has characterized it throughout its years of trajectory, forming students with quality standards.
