In 1958, she inaugurated the Education building at the University of Costa Rica, which was a product of her persistent efforts.
In 1960, she contributed to the creation of the Escuela Nueva Laboratorio (primary laboratory), arranging an agreement between the University of Costa Rica and the Ministry of Public Education.
She presented her ideals in didactic books, active readings, talks and advice seminars, and in national, Latin American, European and American conferences.
In favor of an integral and democratic education, she advocated for the dignity of the people, and the use of their experiences and the development of their creative faculties.

The design on the bill was made by a graphic arts student from the University of Costa Rica, Moral Frame Salazar.
