they knew that 61 percent of the
Peruvian territory is Amazonian and that
only 11 percent of the population
national inhabit this space
however this territory has
very low conditions at the level of
development and presents the indicators
lower on issues of access to water
the energy to the enclosure and makes
there are few related equipment
to the subject of health and education
but why the amazonía are found
in this condition it is because of the great
extension of its territory to the
rurality since it is structured by
a very fluvial transport system
complex that makes the times of
displacement of communities up
the important cities are on average
five hours but we have areas that
they are much more extreme as you will see in
this map the red areas indicate the
border areas where the
displacement can reach up to four
days taking a boat and the
costs of these trips come to do
much higher than a trip from Lima to
europe and if we ask ourselves what is it
what is happening with education
in this context of the 15 thousand schools
what is in the Amazon
according to the education census you see
that only 5% of students
can do a math operation
basic and that only 18 percent of
they can understand what this law the
and these students become more
of one million and it is a very rich population
and very diverse concentrates different
languages and they represent different
indigenous communities and if we
we ask what what are going on with
schools in this context we see that
according to the national census of
educational infrastructure
the state of the schools has is very
critical and has to be replaced
completely or have to have a
Important structural reinforcement also
of that you do not have information about almost
4,000 schools, which suggests that
they could also be in this same
condition since they are in zones
rural and rural areas and we see that the
intervention in these schools have
to be of different types
we see in these photos for example that
they have to be replaced
completely because they do not respond
appropriate conditions of learning or
it has to be expanded
as you will see in this space the classroom is
being used
simultaneously by two classes the
students look at a blackboard and the others
the other wall and what has happened that
has always been thought to our
writing of a condition of urbanity
and this means that it is not taken
account the conditions of the
rurality of the Amazon where there is
climatic issues that have to be
solve for in this case this classroom does not
has a roof because there have been winds
that they have taken and the infrastructure
I have not been conditioned to this topic but
if we evaluate other indicators of
infrastructure
we see that everyone throws the same
indicators that are very low
for example the theme of connectivity
only 3 percent of schools are
connected to the internet only the 37th
hundred of schools have energy what
AJE students can not
access tools that can
enhance their learning and is much more
serious on the subject of water sanitation
because only 11 percent of the
schools have access to decent toilets and
access to adequate water sanitation what
which directly impacts the health of
children and can increase the
school dropout
as we see the amazonía is in
emergency needs to have new
strategies and is driven to
education ministry that in 2015
a high impact strategy is created
to be able to raise the indicators of
learnings driving the four axes
of the ministry that are first that
there is a teacher who demands that the
student can reach the schools that
have adequate materials to the
Multiculturalism and identity
Amazon and that there is a school
adequate to be able to combat all these
adverse conditions that arise in
this territory
I am an architect and you are
boosting the infrastructure area and
We aim to reduce the gap
infrastructure and ensure
appropriate learning conditions in
these spaces and as we have done in
a first step we have created a system
modular prefabricated
but what does this mean a system
modular prefabricated is a set of
parts and parts that can be a classroom
a one a ramp to access the
classroom a solar panel that as a whole and
together with other pieces they can put together
different types of schools and this
system has to be a system
scalable and flexible that can serve
the great infrastructure gap that
exists and has four characteristics
important the first is that it is a
system that can be assembled is what
which means that the pieces can
be taken to rural areas and rory
remote rural areas and be installed is another
construction system that can be
conditioned weather conditions
of the Amazon that can protect the
rain learning space
of heat and floods that
can be implemented in less time
for example in a conventional system
from state one can implement a
school in from 3 to 5 years with this
system we got to implement the
schools in a year and also that they can
be flexible because different types of
spaces that are needed in these
territories that have a rural character
as are, for example, the residence
of students who are interned and how
we buy these schools ourselves
we call and infrastructure
to a package of components that can
be classrooms connectors furniture and
equipment that are different
components
for example, some panels may be
solar and we have already implemented as
you will see in this photo where the spaces
they are poorly ventilated they are bigger
they have higher ceiling cover more
this is a space is a dining room that
It can also be used as a
multipurpose room and for this we have
identified the particularities of the
amazonía because also within those of
the amazonía there are differences at the level of
weather
we have in the health three are
had different climatic that
differentiate temperature level heat
etcetera and we have developed six types
of modules that differ according to
to the level of wind at the level of
temperature that can enter by the
through the walls and we arrived in their
different combinations to have almost
125 types of environment that we can
see in these images where we can
respond to the requirements for eyes
of all the schools being small
large and having many requirements
completely different and if we see one
of these modules in this diagram
you can see that it is a kind mockery
where is a large container of
activities that can differentiate
different spaces for the support of
teacher so that children can
save your backpacks so there’s a
deposit of materials and so on and
schools are using as you see in this
Photo
the same module comes with equip with
All the furniture has shelves for
save the materials that are always
present in the school day and has
also to blame particularities
this system for example we have and what
see in this diagram and in this
photography great runners that are
the transition spaces from the outside
inside the classroom and this makes
are spaces where the child can leave
and be protected from the sun or rain and
we have these platforms that are
exterior spaces that are going to connect
the different types of environments and that
they can be extension spaces of the
classroom and the implementation has been very
full
It has been a titanic task because we have
had to transport the materials
by different types of transport
boats or by air or by land and
we have come to implement in 210 days
10 schools nationwide
in a first intervention the
projection gets to make a box or almost
thousand schools in the amazon
within the targeting that is
they have a jungle plan but we are a habano
also in the processes
we take out bids for
school packages and we give
bonuses to the companies that we
can give wood of legal origin
verified and so not only we
We are in charge of the axes of the management
educational but the school
becomes a model of sustainability
and of education and the environment
the schools also have treatment
at the level of outdoor spaces
this means that we take care of
the reforestation of exteriors
as you see in these images of steps that
can connect different areas of
school and we got to intervene small
colleges like in this one where they see as
the the great space for him for the
initial that also has a space
complementary to the teacher but not
we would have achieved this if we had not
integrated a very important component and
a second strategy that we have
developed is this one called
and the objective is to recognize
expectations recognize the imaginary
of the communities to communicate the
interventions that we are having and
connect with the like with the population
this is Pablo II is a leader of a
native community in the community of
pastaza north of the country
he has drawn at school as the
heart of the community and it’s because it’s going to
be the only central equipment of the
community where you are going to concentrate
all activities and also
We developed participatory workshops in
where the purpose is to communicate
strategies say how are they going to be
modules that benefits are going to have and
how they have to maintain it because
end them as you will see in this picture
they are the guardians of the law
action and we deliver these
bracelets so they can be the
leaders in the control of
infrastructure implementation
before the inauguration since before
the celebrations of the schools
we also make identity symbols
how are these flags that are woven with
communities and are raised in the
openings of the colleges and also
we deal with temporary writing
giving it an added value
with these art workshops through
murals but we know that there are also
problems that need more time and
more research and this is the subject of
water and sanitation to have bathrooms
worthy
we call this strategy brigades in
border and I already explained what is the
condition of the infrastructure
we see that bathrooms are spaces that
they are in the most extreme conditions
inside a school premises and for that it is
what we have done is to articulate a
different actors to be able to investigate
and be able to reach solutions and cover the
water deficit sanitation through
bathrooms in schools what we have done in
a first step is to work with the
world health organization and we have
come to identify five districts
that concentrate the most amount of
schools with the most critical rates to
level of access in water sanitation and
those subscribed with the concentrations
most serious at the level of diseases
related to water and we have
developed all the stages
based on these five zones
identified where we are taking
prototypes through a video of a
support relationship with the academy in
where through volunteering
professional students specialists
travel to these rural areas to be able
bring technologies but we know that this
it has to be hand in hand also with
the communities because they mostly
in bathrooms they will take care of the management
and the maintenance what we have come
developing already are two prototypes of
dry baths and we are developing
prefabricated
that then in a next stage
will become scalable and can give
benefits to many more schools at a
national
now we are monitoring these
schools and how will you see in this photo in
three of them the community and the adopted
and the painting has incorporated its identity
and what has happened is that the bathroom does not
it only serves the school but the
community uses it to get out
water since it has a system of
rain collection
finally I’m sure that the
architecture changes the lives of
people and came to inspire and create
suitable environments for learning and
also that architecture is not for
few
architecture is a right and it is a
service that has to be taken to the
most vulnerable areas of the country over
everything to the Peruvian Amazon
I had the opportunity from the state
to work in this work without
precedents but we still know what
we have a lot to do
gas
