For more then 20 years, the Latin American Laboratory for Assessment of the Quality of Education (LLECE) works with most of Latin America´s countries, in evaluations that measures learning achievements of primary education students. During this period, 3 comparative and explanative regional studies were applied.

LLECE is the main monitoring and follow-up mechanism available to the region, in the context of the Education Agenda 2030 as it is incorporated to 20 educational systems that apply the same learning measuring, an evaluation that takes in consideration the national curricula as a conceptual framework for its implementation.

The XXXV LLECE´s national coordinators reunion that takes place in Panama is a fundamental instance of the definition and planning of the work to be done in the Education Agenda 2030 and points to establishing guidelines that strengthens and guides the laboratory´s activities.
