Fundación Ceibal presents a publication on education and technology in LATAM

The Ceibal Foundation presents the publication “Education and technology: the challenge of sustainability in Latin America”, which proposes strengthening the articulated debate on how technology can promote inclusive, equitable, and sustainable quality education in Latin America.

The challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic are an opportunity to identify the adaptations or solutions that education systems have failed to come up with, thus affecting their basic functions, such as ensuring inclusion and equity.

This document brings together the views of policymakers, interviews with representatives of international development agencies and non-governmental organizations with a high impact on the region, as well as best practice experiences implemented in education systems in Latin America.

The publication is part of the work that the Foundation has been carrying out to strengthen digital education policies in the region on the basis of research, innovation and dissemination projects, including the coordination of the Alliance for the Digitalization of Education in Latin America (ADELA), funded by IDRC Canada.

It is also part of the collaborative actions that the Ceibal Foundation is undertaking together with UNESCO in the context of the Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report, whose objective is to monitor progress in reaching the education targets of the Sustainable Development Goals. In addition to being a member of the GEM Report Advisory Board, the Ceibal Foundation is the organization responsible for leading the regional consultation process on technology and education in Latin America for the next report (2023).
