counted a total of 123 students in the period of one year this through an agreement with the
Ministry of Education.

For the following periods and under the same agreement, the Institute increased its number of

achieved a student of Liceo Naval San Cristobal obtain a scholarship to study this language at a
university in China.

Starting this year, the Confucius Institute offers its services to the Galapagos community with
group classes and customized installations of the Universidad San Francisco de Quito

2.2 PROJECTIONS

According with the the number of students per period it can be concluded that there is a
greater number of people who are absent for school holidays; ie January to March. On the
other hand the opening of new modules is expected to meet the demand which would lead to
a gradual increase in students except for the holiday season. At this point it is important to
note that in the Confucius - Galapagos works one teacher; this would limit the number of
modules that could be open; the following projection is based solely on the interest shown by
the community and could imply the need for two teachers as this could be distributed to
students by age.

Taking into account these considerations and the apparent increase in the interest of the
population is estimated as follows:
