Description
Heads of State meeting at the Second Summit of the Americas in Santiago, Chile in 1998 identified poverty as the greatest threat confronting the hemisphere. With unremitting inequality and social exclusion throughout the region, the leaders pledged to give special attention to the most vulnerable countries and social groups. Education was a key theme of their deliberations. According to the Declaration of Santiago (Organization of American States [OAS], 1998): Education is the determining factor for the political, social, cultural, and economic development of our peoples. We undertake to facilitate access of all inhabitants of the Americas to preschool, primary, secondary, and higher education, and we will make learning a lifelong process ... we reaffirm our commitment to invest greater resources in this important area, and to encourage civil society to participate in developing education.
