This article sought to address the reality of Ecuadorian education on reading competence in students of the Ecuadorian system.

In addition, the study incorporated documentary research, the deductive method, the comparative level and the quantitative approach. According to the LLECE, for 2019, 74% of Basic High School students and 42% of Basic Elementary School students did not achieve reading proficiency. Based on the analysis, it was concluded that the results of the national evaluations did not present great advances. In the regional evaluations, Ecuador does not exceed the regional average and differed from the national measurements and the regional measurements (35.7% in Basic Elementary and 77.6% in Basic Middle). This could have been due to the complexity of the content, political reasons or management of standards different from those managed internationally.
