It was carried out through a qualitative methodology that included semi-structured interviews to three students and three professors of the community studied, in order to identify the perceptions that the professors interviewed have about the basic primary and secondary education, as well as to determine the perceptions that the Public Accounting students belonging to the Nasa Indigenous community have about their education process and finally to examine strategies to face the challenges faced by the students in their accounting education; highlighting the most significant problems that have been part of their experiences such as: The armed conflict, which has damaged the development of the school and educational infrastructure of the Nasa community, as well as the different natural disasters which have not allowed progress to reach a quality education under minimum standards.
