Vulnerabilidad social y el acceso a la educación en comunidades rurales del cantón Bolívar, años 2024- 2025.

Abstract

This research project focuses on social vulnerability as a limiting factor in access to education. The main objective was to understand the cases of social vulnerability evident in rural communities where access to education was limited, especially in the Bolívar Canton. The project identified vulnerable groups unable to access education. Using a qualitative methodology, an interview was conducted with residents of the Mocochal Rural Community. The results reveal significant challenges for mothers with children with disabilities and older adults. The mothers highlighted the lack of curricular adaptations and specialized support in educational institutions, which negatively impacts their children's overall development. Older adults, in turn, mention the existence of economic barriers and traditional family roles that hinder their access to education, generating feelings of limitation. It is concluded that access to education for people invulnerable situations in rural communities is limited due to various problems and situations that prevent them from accessing it.
