This is an instance focused on the delivery of information for the management teams of the Educational Communities, assigned to the program.

The Preparation Component in Secondary Education (PEM), of the Accompaniment and Access to Higher Education (PACE) program of the University of La Serena, held the so-called “Meeting of Coordinators of Educational Establishments (EE) PACE”, belonging to the twelve educational communities assigned to the Ministry of Education.

Within his line of work with high school students, the role of the EE PACE ULS Coordinator is vital for the development of the different actions that the program carries out, within each of the high schools and schools with which he currently works. , which is why this meeting focused on informing the PACE Coordinators about the 2020 Admission processes and socializing the new virtual environment “AULA PEM”.

The first part of the meeting was led by Mg. Gonzalo Honores Vega, Head of the ULS Admission and Enrollment Department, who provided information about the new admission system to higher education.

The second part consisted of the presentation of the new virtual space, with which work will be done with the twelve educational communities of the program. In this regard, the Coordinator of the PEM PACE ULS Component, Jovanna González Cortés, explained: “the meeting was focused on two crucial axes for the program: delivery of information to the EE PACE Coordinators, about this year's new admission process and the presentation of the model of the virtual space 'Aula PEM'; intended for the meeting with our educational communities and aimed at our third and fourth year students, so that they have efficient access to the support provided by the program, strengthen key skills for their academic future and accompany them in vocational exploration, in addition to having a space for teachers and parents in some subjects.”

For the social worker and EE PACE ULS School Coordinator, Claudia Vega, this meeting was beneficial, since it allowed us to clarify several doubts that were resolved in the development of the instance and argument: “this is our new way of working and linking with the program and I really liked it, since we can do many things for our students; "The information they gave us was a privilege to hear, since today it resolved many of my doubts about the admission process and support of the program."

Likewise, the SEP Psychologist of the Pedro Aguirre Cerda school, Leticia Díaz Barrera, added: “I found the meeting organized by the PEM PACE ULS component very good, very interesting, I was able to clarify doubts related to both the admission process to the higher education, as well as the support that they will provide interactively to students in the psychoeducational area. The topics are interesting and presented through a very friendly platform, adjusting to the current needs and context.”
