UNESCO - Three publications summarizing over three years of work on the Regional Strategy on Teachers were launched in late 2014.
The UNESCO Regional Education Office for Latin America and the Caribbean (OREALC/UNESCO Santiago) led this initiative.
The Technical Secretariat of the initiative is headquartered at the Centre for Educational Studies in Policy and Practice (CEPPE).
These documents are part of systematic work executed by UNESCO, CEPPE and the network of regional experts established by the Strategy.
The publications feature contributions from different actors, such as representatives from the Ministry of Education, universities and teacher training institutions, teaching staff and civil society associations and unions, among others.
The documents discuss production and socialization of knowledge based on the review of comparative international evidence and experience spearheaded by relevant teaching actors.
The objective of these documents is to contribute to the formulation of policies about the profession in Latin American and Caribbean countries.
OREALC/UNESCO Santiago hopes that the documents disseminated will contribute to an informed debate about strengthening the teaching profession in the region, in the framework of these countries’ efforts to improve the quality and equality of their educational systems.
