Background
Ministry of Education undertook education reform as a consequence of signing of the peace accords in 1996.
- Included curriculum reform: first competence-based curriculum (known as the National Basic Curriculum —CNB—) was published for the primary level starting 2005.
- Distribution of the curriculum, as many other MOE publications has had a last mile problem:
- Insufficient copies for every school and teacher
- No funds for shipping to schools
- Lack of training for their use
Additionally a problem of usability: even if the curriculum is available, to what degree does it contribute to effective teaching and learning?
- What to teach - the curriculum ✔︎
- How to teach the curriculum - methodology ±
- With what to teach the curriculum - resources ✘
Development of cnbGuatemala
- Began digitizing content in 2011
- Completed curriculum (all levels and curricular areas), October 2012
- Since then, progressive expansion of resources available online.
