The authors of the Escuela Nueva model discovered that FEN promoted quality education through Escuela Nueva Activa (ENA). FEN adapted its strategies and elements to urban populations and new contexts and continued to innovate and promote its expansion at a national and international level.

With the financial support of the Inter-American Foundation (IAF), FEN’s team designed and adapted Escuela Nueva’s strategies and materials to urban environments. The program was named Urban Active School, and its pilot project was initiated in several cities in Colombia.
