Abstract
El presente artículo analiza la compleja relación entre la resiliencia comunitaria y el derecho a la educación en Santa Teresita, una comunidad indígena rural de Guamote, Ecuador. Mediante un enfoque cualitativo y la metodología de Investigación-Acción Participativa (IAP), se exploran las barreras materiales y culturales que obstaculizan el pleno ejercicio de este derecho fundamental. Los hallazgos revelan una infraestructura escolar precaria, altas tasas de deserción, especialmente en niñas, y un currículo desvinculado de la identidad cultural kichwa. Sin embargo, se destaca la notable capacidad de la comunidad para organizarse y generar, desde sus propios saberes y prácticas, estrategias de resistencia y transformación. Se concluye que el fortalecimiento de la resiliencia comunitaria, a través de la participación y la valoración de la cultura propia, es un pilar indispensable para construir una educación intercultural, pertinente y de calidad, que garantice un futuro más equitativo para la niñez y la juventud de la comunidad.

Through a qualitative approach and the Participatory Action Research (PAR) methodology, the material and cultural barriers that hinder the full exercise of this fundamental right are explored. The findings reveal a precarious school infrastructure, high dropout rates, especially among girls, and a curriculum disconnected from the Kichwa cultural identity. However, the community's remarkable capacity to organize and generate, from its own knowledge and practices, strategies of resistance and transformation is highlighted. It is concluded that strengthening community resilience, through participation and the valuation of its own culture, is an indispensable pillar for building an intercultural, relevant, and quality education that guarantees a more equitable future for the community's children and youth.
