“Education also has an important role in confronting the challenges of globalization at a time of growing international competition,” Gaviria added. He said the Special Summit of the Americas, which will be held in Mexico during the coming months, will seek to respond to the political, social and economic demands faced by the countries of the Western Hemisphere. “Latin America cannot continue being the region of greatest inequity in the world,” he said.
The Third Meeting of Ministers of Education was officially opened at Chapultepec Castle by Mexican President Vicente Fox,, who reviewed some of his government´s achievements in education and underscored the urgency of the ministers´ work at this meeting. “Let us sow now, because education is the soil of the future,” he said.
Mexico’s Secretary of Public Education, Reyes Tamez Guerra, welcomed the delegates of the 34 OAS member states and said that the forum here would help build common solutions to many problems. “Just as a country´s integral development is linked to achievements in education, the entire hemisphere´s progress depends on advances in the education system of each and every country,” he said.
During the meeting the Inter-American Committee on Education will be formally established as a permanent forum on educational issues. The ministers will also approve three hemispheric projects designed to improve teacher training, strengthen secondary education and promote equity and quality in the region’s educational systems. The projects will be financed by the OAS, through a special $2 million fund allocated for education as well as a donation fund administered by the Inter-American Agency for Cooperation and Development.
The Third Meeting of Ministers of Education takes places in the framework of the Inter-American Council on Integral Development, an OAS body. The last time the hemisphere’s education ministers met was in September 2001 in Punta del Este, Uruguay.
