These include projects focused on quality standards for teachers, the development of social educational maps for schools, and platforms that promote professional exchange among education professionals.
In addition to structural improvements, KPEK is involved in projects such as the development of a Mapa Sosial Edukashonal, designed to help schools and education professionals identify support services and resources available to students. Other initiatives focus on strengthening the role of teachers and reinforcing the education sector as a whole.
