INTERVIEWS

1)As you know, the school has revised its mission, vision and values. What is your opinion about these new documents?

It is important to highlight the fact that this process had the participation of students, teachers, workers, administrators, parents and board members who shared their valued criteria and opinions, which allowed for an inclusive, innovative and democratic definition.

Mauricio Durango
Vicepresident - Board of Administration

2) What do you think are the most important ideas of the revised Mission?

It was rewarding to hear the students’ suggestion that the word “responsibility” be included along with “liberty” to make sure that freedom of our actions always be accompanied by responsibility and that there are always consequences to our actions. It was emphasized that the new generation of leaders must be conscious about their social reality as well as the environment, going beyond their own well-being. Finally, it is important to recognize the loyalty to the history of our school, which was founded in a conflictive moment, in which democracy was tainted. That’s why I approve of the words liberty and democracy being used in the mission. See more interviews about RTF...
