The National Highschool of DME "Asunción Escalada" (commonly called by the acronym CNAE) (and formerly known as the National School of Girls) is a traditional secondary school, located in the city of Asunción, Paraguay. It was created by a Decree on February 10, 1938, as one of the few educational institutions of that time in charge of education exclusively for girls.
It kept its gender distinction until 2004, when by a resolution, the Minister of Education ordered the school will become mixed, as is maintained until today. The CNAE currently attend over a thousand students, in levels of basic education and medium level, with three modes of scientists baccalaureates and four technicians ones.
The school took a big jump in 2008, enabling the Technical Baccalaureate in Industrial Chemistry, making it one of only five schools in imparting this teaching in the Metropolitan Area.
In 2012 the institution was in charge of organizing the ESI-AMLAT science fair, which attracted young Scientists from around the world to Paraguay in order to share their knowledge in various branches of the science.
On February 10, 1938, the Paraguayan government promulgated the decree No. 4,369 which created the "National Highschool for Girls". This decree is signed by the then President Dr. Félix Paiva.

"
The February 9, 2004 by Resolution No. 43, the Minister of Education and Culture, the Dr. Blanca Ovelar de Duarte permits the registration of men in the new National Highschool of DME called "Asunción Escalada". And so, after 66 years of teaching exclusively to the female population, the school took its original way: educate men and women on equal opportunities. This decision brought with it multiple positions on one side were those who applauded the integration process, although some parents repudiated the action and pulled their daughters from the School.
