Non-school education is an educational option that today is becoming stronger in the urban area of ​​the city of Cuenca-Ecuador, it is usually aimed at those parents who choose to educate their children outside a public secondary education institution or private, known as family education, and for people who have not had the opportunity to complete their studies. The problem of the investigation is the lack of knowledge on the part of the society of this modality of study, and that is stipulated in the Organic Law of Intercultural Education (LOEI) of Ecuador. The objective of this study is to design an information and communication plan aimed at the inhabitants of the Octavio Cordero Palacios Parish, belonging to the city of Cuenca-Ecuador, on this new modality of study and thereby encourage the authorities of secondary education for its continuity in other sectors. In the methodological, descriptive research with a quantitative approach, supporting their information through the survey technique.

The Fray Vicente Solano Educational and Fiscal Unit is located in the city of Cuenca-Ecuador, considered an institution of great prestige and long history serving the student community of young Ecuadorians and foreigners. The problem of this research is the excessive number of students crowded into the classrooms of that institution, due to the lack of attention and control by the regulatory bodies of the Ministry of Education, which assign high numbers of students to the educational units, this brings negative effects on the academic performance of students. The objective of this study is to design an improvement plan that will benefit those who are educated in this educational institution. On the methodological level, the research is of a descriptive type with a quantitative approach, the same as the one that will apply the deductive method, for this reason surveys are developed aimed at both students and teachers of the campus. The results show that a greater interest and correct analysis by the Ministry of Education would reduce more quickly and effectively all the negative effects found, along with this, having fewer students in the classroom, there would be greater interest on their part to study, for this reason it is imperative to implement a plan for student improvement. With the elaboration of this research, the Educational Unit will be able to recover its academic level of excellence which has characterized it throughout its years of trajectory, forming students with quality standards.

In the last decade in the Republic of Ecuador tourism has been strengthened considerably and one of the beneficiaries has been the indigenous and rural communities through community-based tourism. This type of tourism has not achieved the goals for which it was conceived. The present study aims to demonstrate the problem of community-based tourism in a community in Yasuni National Park focusing on legal and economic aspects and the implementation of a solution through a proposal of a project linking academia, government institutions and communities, focusing on the use of a threatened species and taking advantage of its conservation program through tourism use. The methodology is based on a bibliographic compilation and the application of professional experiences and fieldwork with the use of interviews and observation. The main results indicate that there are serious problems in legal aspects and economic management; and, that the best option for implementing a conservation program is the Charapa species (Podocnemis unifilis and Podocnemis expansa). Managers are motivated to carry out training and strengthening programs that really focus on the weaknesses of the communities that carry out this type of tourism.
