Education is currently a key component of social transformation, in rural areas the reality faces territorial, economic, cultural, social and even environmental limitations, which makes it difficult for students to access quality education. In the Andean Chocó Biosphere Reserve there are several parishes that are characterized by their biodiversity and are part of the rural area of the Metropolitan District of Quito. The research focuses on the analysis of experiences on the educational and environmental dynamics, to identify and understand the daily practices and the community's perception of the environment. Particularly, in this area the educational institutions are single-teacher (12.9%), multigrade (16.1%) and some offer up to the Unified General High School (51.6%). The reality from the educational approach reflects the need to strengthen the management of specific educational needs (61.3%), curricular planning (29%) and the implementation of innovative methodologies (29%). While from the environmental approach, outdoor activities (72.4%) and activities focused on the knowledge of biodiversity and natural environments (51.6%) are carried out in only half of the educational institutions. Faced with this reality, it is imperative to improve intervention strategies, adapt socio-environmental dynamics to local realities and encourage community participation to effectively address environmental and educational challenges. The inclusion of environmental education in this area of high biological interest is transcendental to promote community resilience by integrating traditional knowledge with innovative approaches.
