in Latin America and the Caribbean
Nº 1, 2009
Introduction
This digital bulletin offers a glimpse at the activities UNESCO has been undertaking in the sphere of education in Latin America and the Caribbean. We will bring you information contributed by the UNESCO offices and institutes in the region, and will report on UNESCO’s work with the Member States and the National Co-operation Commissions.
This is an invitation to explore the extensive work the Organization carries out in the field of education and become aware of how much still needs to be done. It is directed to UNESCO colleagues, the Member States, specialists in education, researchers, students and all who are interested in helping achieve quality education for all.
