description	The Ecuadorian educational system has been transformed by the implementation of the National Ten-Year Plan (PDN, for its Spanish title, Plan Decenal Nacional), which was renewed until 2025. This qualitative study examined the self-reported perceptions of 20 private elementary school teachers regarding the Ecuadorian educational system. Study questions addressed (1) participants’ perceptions of the educational system using a survey based on the 5Essentials inquiry tool developed by Langley (2009) as an evaluative measure, and (2) challenges educators identified as barriers to learners’ academic achievement. Survey validity was evaluated by three Ecuadorian educators from the area where this research was conducted. Data collected from teachers were triangulated utilizing administrators’ interviews and an analysis of the school’s policies. Study findings suggest that participating teachers felt that they had received insufficient and limited support from school administration and parents, leading to teacher disempowerment.

El sistema educativo ecuatoriano ha sido transformado con la implementación del Plan Decenal Nacional (PDN) el cual fue renovado hasta el año 2025. Este estudio cualitativo examinó las percepciones autoinformadas de 20 docentes de primaria de una escuela privada sobre el sistema educativo ecuatoriano. Las preguntas del estudio abordaron (1) las percepciones de los participantes sobre el sistema educativo utilizando una encuesta basada en la herramienta de investigación 5Essentials desarrollada por Langley (2009) como medida evaluativa, y (2) desafíos identificados por los educadores como barreras para el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes. La validez de la encuesta fue evaluada por tres educadores ecuatorianos del área donde se realizó esta investigación. Los datos recopilados de los maestros se triangularon utilizando entrevistas con los administradores y un análisis de las políticas de la escuela. Los hallazgos del estudio sugieren que los maestros participantes percibieron que recibían un apoyo insuficiente y limitado de la administración de la escuela y de los padres, lo que provocó la pérdida de poder de los maestros.
