The project intents to understand in the beginning, using ethnography as a methodological tool, the actual problematic connected to the educative system affecting the social development in Meta, specifically in the Municipalities of Granada, Castilla la Nueva, Puerto Gaitán, and Puerto López. To achieve this, it was necessary to articulate the seemingly obvious relationship between education and development. In this sense, the proposal opts for the theoretical currents that favor human development over the economic growth.
