OAS General Secretariat Mourns the Death of the Secretary General of Virtual Educa and Recognizes his Legacy
April 1, 2020
The General Secretariat of the Organization of American States (OAS) expresses its condolences over the death of the Secretary General of Virtual Educa, José María Antón, which occurred in Madrid on March 21, as a consequence of COVID-19. The OAS General Secretariat acknowledges the loss of the person who was the main promoter and motor of a multilateral initiative that, over the past two decades, generated learning opportunities, especially for the most disadvantaged, as well as educational innovations for social transformation.
"José María Antón worked closely with the OAS on initiatives to promote innovation in education in the Americas," said OAS Secretary General Luis Almagro. “We were fortunate to benefit from his wisdom and commitment. Thanks to his support, enormous progress was made in aiding OAS member states to access Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in education. Thanks to his vision, this work was especially aimed at promoting education for the least favored sectors,” he said.
Virtual Educa, created in 2000, is a multilateral cooperation initiative on innovation in education for social inclusion and sustainable development. It was established with the collaboration of the Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED) of Spain, through the Instituto de Estudios Avanzados para las Américas (INEAM), based in Miami. In 2011, the headquarters of the General Secretariat of Virtual Educa moved from Spain to the OAS Department of Human Development and Education, which opened the way for OAS member states to benefit from Virtual Educa programs.
As a result of the collaborative effort with the governments of Colombia, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago, as well as Puerto Rico, several “International Virtual Educa” meetings were held, with the participation of more than 70,000 face-to-face participants and more than 250,000 virtual participants from 75 countries. José María Antón played a key and irreplaceable role in making all of this possible.
