Likewise, it is considered that the teacher is suitable as long as he or she passes the performance evaluation sufficiently, however, it should be appreciated that it is important that this evaluation allows evidence of a proper quality standard that is reflected in the ISCE of the Institution. Based on the information collection instruments used, very appropriate elements for the investigation can be extracted; from these it was possible to recognize several aspects. The surveys carried out make it possible to establish that ultimately job performance directly affects the improvement of the Synthetic Index of Educational Quality, Also, in accordance with the information mechanisms obtained, specifically speaking of the databases provided by the ETC (Entity Certified in Education) it is possible to identify that the educational institutions of Cucuta have obtained a significant development compared to previous years.
