This book presents the results of the study “Perceptions of children and adolescents from public schools about their education”, carried out between June and December 2010 in rural and urban schools in four regions of the country. The purpose of this study was to gather the point of view of children and adolescents on various topics related to their educational experience, such as school, teachers, learning and their own role as students. The study was an initiative of the Interinstitutional Roundtable on Good Teaching, promoted by the National Education Council (CNE) and Foro Educativo, and made up of various state and civil society entities. In an effort to define, by consensus, criteria for good teaching performance, the Interinstitutional Board proposed to carry out some studies that would provide evidence on key aspects of good teacher performance. One of these studies is the one presented here, since it was considered essential to gather and take into account the point of view of children and adolescents in the process of constructing both the criteria for good teacher performance and the essential learning curriculum framework.
