CALASANZ SOCIAL IMPACT IN THE PEOPLE\u00b4S SCHOOL. IED Buenavista Calasanz. BOGOT\u00c1 (COLOMBIA)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Buenavista IED Calasanz School is in the Ciudad Bolivar district, which is 90% mountainous and 72% rural southwest of Bogota.<\/p>\n

In 1999, the District’s Secretary of Education established the basis for creating educational institutions operated by private concessionaires. The idea was to allow private educational institutions with extensive experience in the sector and high results in national census tests to manage part of the district\u2019s public education. “This is to offer a high-quality education that satisfies the existing demand for marginal urban and rural zones in territorial entities receiving displaced population and socioeconomic strata one and two. (SED 1998. P. 14).<\/p>\n

In 2000, the Calasanz District Educational Center was created within the framework of the project “Schools in Concession,” and the Piarist Fathers, through the Calasanz Social Foundation, were awarded the Bid. In 2016, the school was handed over to the SED, and a new 10-year contract was renewed under the new name of Buenavista IED Calasanz School.<\/p>\n

By the year 2024, the school will have an enrollment of 1150 students, distributed in 27 courses organized in three sections: Tr-3rd, 4th-7th, and 8th-11th.<\/p>\n

Thanks to government support, the school is of a popular character and serves the most vulnerable population marked by loneliness, abuse, violence, mediocrity, and addictions. They bring to the school problems from home that live at home and need to be addressed: psychoactive substance use, suicidal behaviors, coping styles, risk associated with parents, parental perception, violence indicators, delinquent behavior in the sector, etc.<\/p>\n

Many homes are very poor. Many of them are encroachments produced by forced displacement or have been victims of the armed conflict. They live in places where public services are scarce or without access roads. After the pandemic, the factors of depression and suicide attempts in children and young people have increased. Our students suffer from deep sadness due to the violent death of their loved ones.<\/p>\n

23 years ago, the Pious Schools began an educational mission in Ciudad Bolivar to alleviate poverty, delinquency, and school dropout rates. The Piarist community has always been concerned with establishing a dynamic of insertion in all the places where it carries out its educational mission. St. Joseph Calasanz worked with the poor, living poorly among them.<\/p>\n

The school develops programs with the community and seeks to guide and accompany students, alumni, families, and the entire educational community in different social processes established within the institution.<\/p>\n

It also seeks to expand the coverage of services and social and community outreach the school has in the city sector. The school wants to go beyond its walls and create a positive expectation in the neighbors. It is a space that opens possibilities for civic, non-formal education, democracy, and the sense of belonging that the institution awakens in the locality of the neighborhood.<\/p>\n
