Abstract

This article discloses the results of the evaluation, the essence of the political dimension in education and its impact on General Basic Education of the "Coronel Héctor Espinosa" Educational Unit, located in the Toacaso parish, Latacunga canton, Cotopaxi province. The research work carried out assumed a qualitative approach, the inductive method and the interview were used, with their respective instruments, which allowed the authors to gather information from the different educational actors and determine the impacts of the political dimension. From the discussion of the results, they allowed us to conclude that the political dimension of education, taking the study carried out as a reference, is being affected in the Basic General Education of the aforementioned rural institution. The impacts on the general population are negative, affecting areas such as infrastructure, access to educational services, quality and equity, participation in educational action, educational offer at various levels and sub-levels, as well as State investment in the educational system, limiting compliance with the objectives set out in the curriculum and consequently educational quality. The results shown are evidence of the little interest that the Ecuadorian State pays to education.
