Análisis de las acciones afirmativas en los concursos de méritos y oposiciones de docentes del distrito zonal 6 del cantón Cuenca

Abstract

This paper analyzes the procedure developed to fill teaching vacancies in the Ecuadorian public sector, along with each phase of the process that applicants undergo to join the teaching community, emphasizing the transparency with which these procedures are conducted. Additionally, the mechanisms implemented by the State to safeguard and guarantee the effectiveness of the right to education for all children and adolescents were examined. From a legal perspective and through a qualitative method, this study explores how the State guarantees equal access to opportunities for all individuals, in accordance with the principles of formal and substantive equality and non-discrimination, as contemplated in our Constitution. The findings reveal a somewhat different and questionable reality regarding the true nature of affirmative actions.
