Education in crisis Venezuela

According to a national survey in which UCAB participated, 25% of teachers and 15% of students in primary and secondary education have left the classrooms in the last three years. In addition, 85% of schools do not have internet, 69% have acute deficiencies in electricity service and 45% do not have water.

Data from the Educational Diagnosis of Venezuela (DEV 2021) – a study led by the consulting firm DEVTech Systems and developed in alliance with the public policy research firm ANOVA, the Center for Educational Innovation (CIED) of the UCAB and the Carvajal Foundation of Colombia – revealed alarming figures on the current state of education in the country, from the critical deficiencies of infrastructure, security and food in schools to the increase in dropouts, in the last three years, both of students (1.2 million) and teachers (166 thousand), due to migration issues or deficiencies at home.
