Under the Organic Law on Intercultural Education (LOEI) and government directives on measures for prevention, containment, the emotional and economic stability of the educational community, the Ministry of Education prohibits any type of financial contribution by parents for the renovation of classroom façades or any other end-of-school-year expenditure. The Ministry guarantees the right to free education, monitors irregularities, and punishes any cases of misconduct.

The “The School is Ours” program was launched in 2019 with the objective of improving the infrastructure and equipment of public basic education schools. The project focuses on promoting participatory management, with parents and students.
