Education Ministries Of Latin America and the Caribbean are to meet in an extraordinary session for two days this week, Thursday and Friday, to propose an agenda of concrete actions from a political and technical perspective to overcome the post-pandemic educational crisis.
The event is convened by UNESCO and the Chilean Ministry of Education, and co-organized by the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean, the World Bank, the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), and UNICEF.
The education ministers will seek to address and exchange experiences in public policies in advancing the reactivation, recovery, and transformation of education as accelerators of the Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4), and the financing of education as an enabling condition.
The meeting is part of a follow-up to the United Nations Summit on the Transformation of Education, where efforts were established to overcome the educational crisis resulting from COVID-19 and re-imagining educational systems of the future.
Ultimately, the Education Ministers will be called upon to come up with formulas to implement actions that allow elimination of gaps and guarantee quality education.
