The Commission for Quality Education for All presented in Argentina the report "Building a Quality Education: a pact with the future of Latin America." The presentation was made by former presidents Ricardo Lagos (Chile) and Ernesto Zedillo (Mexico), who together with 12 other leaders from the different countries of the region are members of the Commission, an initiative promoted by Inter-American Dialogue with the aim of promoting an educational change of value for Latin America and the Caribbean.

At present, several Latin American countries have been presenting important improvements in the educational aspect, such as increased enrollment and school attendance; However, this still does not reflect a change in the students' learning levels, as evidenced by the low results obtained by young schoolchildren in international assessments.

Likewise, this level of progress has not yet affected the level of competitiveness of the countries of the region, since the current educational program does not develop in students the skills required to enter the labor market and generates low productive human resources and disadvantage.

Faced with this situation, the Commission has proposed a series of priorities focused on improving educational quality and promoting greater proposals and political actions that the countries of the region must take into account in order to continue advancing in the educational system.

In its first part, the report presents and analyzes the situation of education in Latin America, both its progress and its weaknesses. In the second, it proposes  reforms in six areas of educational policy  to generate a sustainable transformation of the educational system that is for the real benefit of the population and the future of the countries. Finally, in the third part, it calls for a sustainable social pact in which all actors commit to generating change through the designation of financial, human and political resources for the implementation of educational reforms and innovations that promote equity. in the countries.
