Abstract
This research analyzes the articulation of the New Mexican School (NEM) with Community Education for Well-being (ECB) of the National Council for Educational Development (CONAFE), in order to determine the challenges and opportunities in its implementation in rural communities. The study was carried out in the rural community of Echeverría, Hidalgo, and uses a qualitative approach with an ethnographic design, based on interviews and direct observations with community educators and students. The results show that, although the link between the NEM and the ECB promotes more inclusive and contextualized educational practices, there are challenges in the prioritization of content, time limitations for the development of the analytical plan, and an incomplete understanding of the model by some educators. However, the benefits stand out in terms of community relevance and strengthening the sense of belonging among students. The research suggests the need for more training for educators and better structure in curriculum implementation to optimize the benefits of both educational approaches.
