Dialogue and National Consensus for Education Reform
The Dialogue and National Consensus for Education Reform was a participatory process developed in Guatemala during 2000 and 2001. The process was conducted through dialogue at the local, regional and national levels. The discussion process focused on the following themes: sociocultural relevance, the role of the State in education and the role of the Boards of Education. It was organized by the Ministry of Education, with the objective of obtaining a consensus in order to carry out reforms on the educational system, thus promoting a National Reform.
