Likewise, to all of those who have believed in UNETE and have supported our cause, we appreciate your trust and affirm our commitment to continuing to design and execute programs that continue to benefit the teachers and students who need support the most. We also work with partners committed to diminishing the competition gap between Mexico and more developed countries. All of the above demonstrates the extent to which we continue to refine and strengthen our model, and that we are motivated to continue working with the firm conviction and in partnership with those segments of society in favor of quality education.


This partnership also allowed us to bring our mentorship model to more indigenous communities.

Thanks to the information obtained through the schools that participated in in our mentorship program, we designed a platform focused on developing those abilities through technology. This year, our evaluation allowed us to evaluate student competency levels in areas such as digital literacy and twenty-first century skills among students attending UNETE-supported schools. The impact achieved through the UNETE model, generates changes that integrate students, parents, and teachers deeper into the school communities, a result of actions undertaken with the objective of obtaining improved outcomes in education quality, innovation, and specialization. 5 5 Introduction Just like every year, UNETE has stories and good news to share with all that are part of our dream that started sixteen years ago.
