Education, Youth and Development: UNESCO in Latin America and the Caribbean
February 2nd, 2011
This publication is produced by UNESCO’s Regional Bureau of Education for Latin America and the Caribbean (OREALC/UNESCO Santiago). This document analyzes the Millennium Development Goals and the Education for All (EFA) goals from the perspective of youth. The publication is the result of a joint effort by UNESCO Offices and Institutes in the region, which provided information on four key issues important to youth in Latin America and the Caribbean: quality education for all youth, education for peaceful coexistence, sexuality education, and HIV prevention and education for sustainable development. Innovative experiences described in the publication include UNESCO’s assistance in drafting public policy in Brazil, the implementation of a post-earthquake educational model in Haiti, and teacher training on HIV/AIDS prevention and reduction of the effects of violence in Mexico.
