National Commissions for the Transformation of Education
The National Commissions for the Transformation of Education are spaces created in 2007 to respond to the new educational structure and the high demand for enrollment, due to the transformation of the Elementary and Middle School Education System and the declaration of free education in January 2007. In total, eight Commissions related to issues of access and coverage, curriculum, management, infrastructure, human resources, planning, ICT and literacy were formed. They include officials and specialists from the Ministry of Education, representatives of public and private universities, teacher unions, movements and civil society organizations in the education sector, business chambers and prominent personalities.
