Ten students received their professional degrees and became the first graduating class of Bachelor's in Primary Education.

In the framework of the collective graduation ceremony at the University of Cauca held on September 27, 2024, ten students received their professional degrees, becoming the first graduating class of Bachelor's in Primary Education from the Alma Mater.

This academic program, resulting from the renewal of registration and change of name established in 2018, aims to train a comprehensive, honest, ethical teacher who respects social and cultural diversity and is aware of their role in building social justice, equity, and peace.

The Bachelor's in Primary Education is a training program for educators that develops competencies to teach the fundamental areas of mathematics, natural sciences, and social sciences, with a special emphasis on the teaching and learning processes of the Spanish language and English.

This new group of teachers is equipped to articulate their own formative process as they navigate the curriculum and to develop new pedagogical proposals based on the critical learnings acquired at the university. Their aim is to address the socio-cultural and political needs of the context in which the children they will teach live and grow.

Our first group of graduates has experienced multiple challenges and learnings, teaching us every day to be better educators. This inaugural class has allowed us to self-evaluate and rethink our practices to continue strengthening such a valuable program for the region and the country.

Congratulations, graduates, and best wishes for this new chapter!
