The results showed that 48% of the students presented ignorance about sustainable development, 42% do not know the Development Plan and 47% do not know the objectives; similarly, 79% of teachers have no knowledge about them; however, 48% of them agree to receive training that helps provide feedback regarding sustainable local development and its objectives. Based on these results, the Action Proposal was generated, whose objective is to strengthen the participation of students and teachers towards sustainable development, through training and implementation of new subject in the curriculum.
