How to transform education from an innovative perspective?
In this space, led together with our ally the OEI, we will analyze the current state of education in Latin America, as well as its perspectives, future plans, investment and promotion of clear and tangible actions for the sector.
Students in Latin America have experienced one of the longest and most uninterrupted school closures after the COVID 19 pandemic, not all students in the region have returned to classrooms. The educational crisis that affected us is unprecedented and for several years we will experience the consequences in learning losses and falling enrollments.
How to overcome this situation? What to do to promote strategies that encourage an increase in the financing of systems, that promote and facilitate the exchange of knowledge and practices? Why is it so necessary to involve young people in this process? What actions do we need to undertake to defend intersectoral and multilateral cooperation in the education sector? These are just some of the questions that are currently being faced by the actors in the education system.
That is why, together with the Organization of Ibero-American States for Education, Science and Culture (OEI), we have been working to generate coordinated actions that support the investment and transformation of educational systems from an educational perspective. innovative, where the promotion of prosperity, sustainability and digitization are decisive elements.
This is how the idea to create a space during our meeting "Many voices, one region: Latin America and the Caribbean working together on the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development" was born. The event aims to debate and make an urgent call to all the countries of the region to commit to the recovery of education through investment and the promotion of clear and tangible actions.
