Presentación:
Lograr una educación de calidad para todos los niños, niñas y jóvenes de Colombia es el
camino para avanzar hacia la equidad social, uno de los pilares del presidente Iván Duque.
La importancia que tiene la educación para el actual gobierno se refleja en los programas y
políticas que el Ministerio de Educación Nacional está desarrollando en todos los niveles
educativos. Adicionalmente, reconocemos que la apuesta por la educación es de todos y
para todos, por esa razón trabajamos de manera articulada con los actores del sistema
educativo.

Estamos convencidos de que la transformación en la educación sucede en la escuela y


principalmente en el aula. Por esta razón desde el Gobierno Nacional estamos haciendo los
esfuerzos necesarios para generar las condiciones y proveer los recursos que garanticen
mayores y mejores aprendizajes en nuestros estudiantes. Los textos escolares son uno de
estos recursos que le permiten a los docentes mejorar el acompañamiento en el aula,
aumentando las posibilidades para la innovación pedagógica.

Es un privilegio para nosotros entregar a los directivos, docentes, estudiantes y familias de


los establecimientos educativos, la colección de textos de matemáticas, lenguaje e inglés,
los cuales responden a la diversidad y riqueza de nuestro país y se articulan con los
referentes de calidad del Ministerio de Educación Nacional.

Estamos seguros de que este material, junto con las estrategias definidas por cada uno de
los programas del Ministerio y las iniciativas que lideran los docentes y directivos docentes
en las instituciones educativas, nos permitirán continuar avanzando hacia una Educación de
Calidad para todos, hacia el fortalecimiento de los procesos curriculares en las instituciones
y hacia la equidad social por la que hacemos equipo con las familias, docentes y, en general,
con todas las comunidades.

De manera especial queremos invitar a los maestros a explorar este material y a trabajarlo
junto con sus estudiantes y las familias. Estamos convencidos de que los docentes son los
líderes de la transformación educativa y serán los protagonistas de este nuevo capítulo de
la historia y del futuro de la educación colombiana.

Cordialmente,

Ministerio de Educación Nacional

Deseamos que estos temas sean relevantes para ti y todos tus compañeros, pues el objetivo
es reconocer tus intereses particulares y relacionarlos con el mundo globalizado y cambiante
que estamos viviendo. Esperamos que esta ruta que inicias te lleve a lograr tus expectativas y
las de tus docentes, y que logres comunicarte en inglés con esta herramienta que potenciará
a futuro, tus capacidades como profesional, ser humano y ciudadano del mundo.
