The Costa Rican educational system currently finds itself in a fragile state given its unresolved structural problems, which date back to years prior to 2018. Since then, these problems have been aggravated by distinct forces: union strikes, teacher strikes and the pandemic. The State of Education (Program Estado de la Nación, 2021) catalogues this crisis as the worst in the recent decades, branding it an
educational shut down. This emergency has affected all three levels of the Costa Rican educational system: primary, secondary, and diversified.
As a result of this situation, the weaknesses and needs of the teaching population are not only evident, but are considered a crucial and strategic point in the resurrection of the Costa Rican
educational system.
