Abstract
The prevalence of substance use among youth poses a significant challenge to their holistic development. Educational interventions and public policies emerge as pivotal tools to address this issue. This research aimed to understand the impact of these policies on the instructional practices of educators at the Juan XXIII Educational Institution in Medellín. A qualitative approach, grounded in hermeneutic praxis, was employed to decode meanings in language and actions of the participants. Through interpretative triangulation, six categories related to local educational policies and projects were examined. Findings highlight a "hermeneutic gap" between stated policies and their actual implementation, attributed to various factors, such as the disconnect between theory and practice. In conclusion, the study underscores the necessity to provide emotional and mental support to students and to ensure ample resources and backing for the effective application of public policies.
