APPENDIX IV: Report analyzing the Santiago Summit Plan of Action on Education: Achievements and Challenges SECOND MEETING OF MINISTERS OF EDUCATION OEA/Ser.K/V.5.1 24-25 September 2001 CIDI/RME/doc.4/01 Punta del Este, Uruguay 18 September 2001 Original: Spanish REPORT ANALYZING THE SANTIAGO PLAN OF ACTION FOR EDUCATION: ACHVIEVEMENTS AND CHALLENGES DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC EDUCATION (SEP) OFFICE OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS REPORT ANALYZING THE SANTIAGO PLAN OF ACTION FOR EDUCATION: ACHVIEVEMENTS AND CHALLENGES Public Education Secretariat - Mexico The Summit of the Americas provides a mechanism for hemispheric dialogue at the highest level. This is where the priority areas of the hemispheric agenda are determined and agreements established that contribute to the comprehensive and sustained development of the region. Within this framework, all countries have made a commitment to work towards and implement actions to achieve the goals proposed and to undertake joint activities that facilitate cooperation and the sharing of experiences among nations. As a result, efforts have been made to raise standards at all educational levels, while striving, on an ongoing basis, for quality education that is equitable and relevant. As a result of these efforts, illiteracy, dropout, repetition, and age-related lag rates have declined significantly virtually everywhere in the Hemisphere. Mexico, in its capacity as the coordinating country for the Education Chapter of the Summit of the Americas, is submitting a report analyzing the activities conducted between the Santiago and Quebec Summits in the area of education in the Hemisphere. In this report, the Secretary of Public Education will provide, in an objective and specific manner, an overview of the critical aspects related to education in the Americas, the educational priorities established, and the principles underlying the different aspects of this area that is being developed. Emphasis is placed on the importance of joint activities conducted, which, without prejudice to the social, economic, and development priorities of each region of the Hemisphere, have enabled attainment of a level that reflects some progress in the goal of providing educational services to all persons needing it, although it is acknowledged that a great deal remains to be done. A synthesis will be provided of the activities conducted in relation to the commitments made with respect to each of the nine lines of the Plan of Action for Education signed at the First Meeting of Ministers of the OAS Inter-American Council for Integral Development (CIDI), held in Brasilia, Brazil in July 1998, and emphasis will be placed on a number of areas of achievement by providing a general overview of the projects conducted within this framework. Therefore, focusing on the main principles; namely, quality, equity, and relevance, of this mechanism for dialogue and cooperation, their practical application will be demonstrated, through activities conducted in the key areas of each line of action. The quality goal covers, in effect, each area of action and serves as the linchpin of the educational systems in the countries and the needs and interests of persons being educated. Nothing would be achieved without this key principle. However, its inclusion in all activities is seen specifically in the topic of evaluation of the quality of education (line 2), assigning value and professionalism to teaching staff (line 3), educational management and decentralization (line 4), the use of new technologies in education (line 8), as well as the establishment of scholarship and exchange systems (line 9). In that context, and including the principle of relevance, understood as the ability of educational systems to meet the needs and aspirations of society as a whole, taking into account its social, cultural, ethnic, and linguistic diversity, the results of the activities conducted with respect to meeting the needs of the peoples of the Americas in a suitable manner will be provided: the adaptation of the curriculums and strategies to the indigenous population in the context of bilingual intercultural programs (line 6), and training programs geared towards employment and certification of job-related competencies (line 5). Everywhere in the Hemisphere, equity has paved the way for the establishment of conditions that provide opportunities for access to education. Consequently, the emphasis placed on compensatory programs and attention to populations at risk (line 1) will be noted, as well as bilingual intercultural education programs (line 6), and the importance assigned to training related to values (line 7). In addition, the use of new technologies in the educational sphere (line 8), has provided expanded opportunities for access to education by large sectors of the population and persons living in separate and remote areas of the different countries of the Hemisphere. Within this frame of reference, a synthesis will be provided of the method for designing different multilateral projects, which include compensatory intersectoral programs for the development of primary and secondary educational levels; programs geared towards the education of at-risk groups, childhood education, gender equity programs, and the development of minors with disabilities; teaching development programs; programs aimed at institutional management and development; the job education program and the multicultural education program, programs geared towards the promotion of information technology, and distance education, among others. These projects have received and will continue to receive technical and financial assistance from the Organization of American States (OAS), the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB); the Regional Office of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO-OREALC), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), and the Economic Commission for Latin America (ECLAC). An overview will also be provided, based on the coordination of the Educational Chapter, of what remains to be done and the activities to be conducted in order to attain the goals proposed. The implicit aim of the information provided will be to focus the attention of the Ministries of Education of the Americas on the need for harmony in terms of efforts and common commitments, inasmuch as each activity proposed offers yet another possibility to counteract the negative aspects resulting from differences in terms of development in the different regions of the Hemisphere. Lastly, the lessons learned during the process will be presented, as well as the importance of developing those national initiatives that show promise and have been shared through horizontal cooperation.
