First Summit of the Americas

Miami, 1994

The third chapter of Miami Summit's Plan of Action "Eradication of poverty and discrimination in the hemisphere" covers the 16th initiative on education. This initiative is supported by heads of State who advocate for access to quality education, professional training and adult education, technical and magisterial training, greater access to higher education and the strengthening of its quality, universal access for women to education, strategies to overcome nutritional insufficiencies, and descentralization and community participation" The heads of state affirmed that education is the "foundation for social and cultural sustainable development, economic growth and democratic stability"
In Santiago de Chile (1997) and Mexico City (1997) two meetings were held to coordinate the implementation of the Summit's mandate. At the last meeting, they suggested ministerial meetings within the OAS to be the forum for debate on the implementation of educational initiatives.
