Intelligence and skills are concepts that have a close relationship with each other and are directly linked to the development of human thought and this in turn is analogous to the development of society. This research aims to analyze the educational perspective assumed by the Ecuadorian government regarding the topic ``development of thinking skills'' in young people who are in the last year of high school, the same one that responds to the pedagogical model implemented in the country called critical pedagogy. the document presents a study based on the results obtained in the ENES tests applied by the Ecuadorian government in the years 2013 and 2014 in high school students. It should be noted that this test is an essential requirement for admission to Ecuadorian public universities. The results clearly reflect a marked difference between the students of the city and the periphery, the urban and rural sector. The results clearly reflect a marked difference between the students of the city and the periphery, the urban and rural sector, and evidence the widening in the existing gap between the different sectors that conform society, the axiology to propose feasible solutions.
