| description | This study explores the adaptation of a Positive Youth Development (PYD) programme for the Indigenous Quichua community in Guangaje, Ecuador, which faces chronic poverty and low educational attainment. In May, June 2023 we conducted focus groups with school teachers and indigenous community leaders, parents and middle school, high school and college students. We found a disconnect between students’ aspirations for higher education and adults’ emphasis on practical and vocational training. Findings highlight the need to strengthen youth internal assets and change adult perspectives to foster a supportive environment, empowering youth to be motivated and prioritise the long-term benefits of education beyond immediate economic challenges. |
