The Education Quality Agency opened Fortalece, a free online professional development platform for school directors and heads of pedagogical technical units. The modules are available from 8 June to 30 November 2026.
What Changed?
School leadership teams gained access to a national online training route with eight modules of eight hours each. The training covers leadership, pedagogical management, and formation and coexistence, and provides an official certificate after completion and passing the final assessment.
Old System vs New System
Professional development for school leadership teams was not presented through this specific national, free, online route open to leaders from all school dependencies.
Directors and UTP heads from municipal, subsidized private, fee-paying private, and Local Public Education Service schools can access Fortalece with ClaveÚnica, select modules, study at their own pace, and obtain an official certificate after meeting the assessment requirement.
Who Is Affected?
Student Impact
Students may benefit indirectly if school leadership teams apply the training to instructional planning, school management, and coexistence practices.
Parent / Family Impact
Parents may see indirect effects through better-informed school leadership and management practices.
School / Institution Impact
Schools can use the platform as a no-cost professional development route for leadership teams during the 2026 school year.
Teacher / Staff Impact
Teachers may be affected indirectly through leadership decisions, pedagogical support, and school coexistence work shaped by the training.
