The Summits have focused on the development of education at all levels.
In the Second Summit of the Americas the countries define that the hemispheric commitment to education is expressed through extensive reform processes that encompass all levels of the educational system, that are based on a wide consensus around educational problems, commitments and society's efforts to overcome them. These processes are based on the principles of equity, quality, relevance and efficiency.

In addition, in the Action Plan of the III Summit of the Americas, the countries acknowledge that: Education is the key to strengthen democratic institutions, to promote the development of human potential, equality and understanding among our peoples, and that it has a positive influence on economic growth and on poverty reduction. These commitments and the Hemispheric Action Plan on Education of the Third Summit of the Americas contain mandates which shall be executed by the countries with the support of the Organization of American States as their Technical Secretariat.
