Abstract

The dynamics of change and innovation irritate the educational system in general. Contextual variables exacerbate these tensions and demand that teachers for profes-sional skills that enable them to make progress in their students’ incomes. Moreover, it is necessary to have structures and processes that allow improvement and internal effi-ciency of the organization so that change and innovation respond, correctly, one to one process that reflects the peculiarities of the organization from a social and cultural dimension. The work proposed aims to identify factors that, in vulnerable contexts, obstruct change and innovation.
