Educación en América Latina y el Caribe
Para la CEPAL es urgente transformar la educación en América Latina y el Caribe. Lograrlo implica una acción decidida hacia la superación de las desigualdades lo que, entre otras cosas, incluye facilitar las transiciones entre la educación y el trabajo, educar con calidad desde la primera infancia, universalizar el acceso a la educación secundaria y abordar las desigualdades de género. Desde una óptica de articulación entre diversos sectores de política pública es que se plantea que la educación no se resuelve sólo en la educación y que debe asegurarse el financiamiento educativo, construir una cultura de innovación que considere a todos los actores de la comunidad educativa en tanto agentes de cambio, desarrollar competencias cognitivas y socioemocionales y fortalecer la educación digital.
