VENEZUELAN MINISTER STRESSES IN
OAS PRESENTATION NEED FOR EDUCATION WITH EQUITY
August 27, 2003
In a presentation marking the centenary of the birth of noted educator Prof. Luis Beltrán Prieto Figueroa, Venezuela’s Minister of Education, Culture and Sports, Aristóbulo Istúriz, underscored the need to promote “quality education for all.”
The Venezuelan Minister asserted at today’s regular meeting of the Organization of American States (OAS) Permanent Council that, “When we speak of quality education for all we are referring to the rights of all.” He explained that in order to guarantee those rights, countries must address more than just attendance- and drop-out rates and instead provide everyone with an opportunity to access the education system. He went on to stress the urgent need to address education from infancy to basic education.
Citing gains in education under the administration of President Hugo Chavez, Istúriz noted that between 1998 and 2002, Venezuela’s school attendance rate increased from 55 per cent to 65 per cent. He said the government is pursuing the goal of universal education as “a social and human right.”
He said that like everyone else, Venezuelans are tackling the challenge of promoting comprehensive education based on equal opportunity, as established by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), reiterated by the heads of state at the Summits of the Americas and reaffirmed in such other forums as the recent OAS-sponsored Third Meeting of Ministers of Education, in Mexico City.
In his commemoration tribute, Istúriz hailed the outstanding contributions Luis Beltrán Prieto Figueroa made to the field of education. “To talk about Luis Beltrán Prieto is not just to talk about an educator, a politician, a social activist, a jurist, a journalist, a poet, a writer, or manager, but rather to talk about all that work coming together in one single man, who moreover mastered them all.”
With Venezuelan Ambassador to the OAS Jorge Valero at his side, the Education Minister presented a collection of books on the work of Luis Beltrán Prieto Figueroa, during a brief ceremony that followed the presentation to the Permanent Council.
