📋 Tender Overview
In the context of a more efficient and innovative educational management, the fundamental role of directors as strategic leaders in their territories has been highlighted. Fourteen Local Educational Management Units (UGEL) and the Regional Directorate of Education (DRE) of Tacna actively participate in the training program of mentoring in educational management, a pioneer initiative promoted by the Directorate of Capacity Strengthening (DIFFECA) of the Ministry of Education. This program seeks to build a network of leaders with mentoring functions, thus strengthening educational management nationwide.
The central objective is to shorten the learning process of the new directors of UGEL, which currently requires between six and eight months, a period that usually has difficulties that affect directly on the quality of the educational service.
Through this program, the competences previously demonstrated by directors of UGEL and responsible for pedagogical management are used, who provide their experience in leadership, evaluation and good practices to a strategy focused on specific results, something new within the educational system.
Ugel Piura is part of this valuable proposal. Therefore, the director of our institution participated in the first face -to -face workshop, developed on May 22 and 23 at the headquarters of the National School of Public Administration, in Lima Metropolitana, together with other selected managers from different regions of the country.
During the development of the workshop, leadership capabilities were reinforced with a mentoring approach, deepened in the principles of peer accompaniment, and the ideal profile of the director of UGEL was collectively defined, focused on an efficient educational management and with positive impact.
In addition, simulations of the early stages of the mentoring process were carried out, allowing participants to prepare to immediately apply these tools in their role as future mentors. As of July, they will accompany new directors who will assume for the first time the leadership of a UGEL.
This program, whose training phase will conclude on June 27, represents not only an opportunity for individual professional improvement, but also a collaborative effort to strengthen institutionality from the territories. The creation of a network of experienced mentors will help improve the initial performance of the new managers, facilitating their adaptation to office and ensuring stronger conditions for quality public education.
The UGEL Piura reaffirms its commitment to this national strategy, betting on the strengthening of capacities, transformative leadership and educational management that effectively responds to the needs of its community.
