National Council of Adult Education
The National Council of Adult Education is the council formed by a citizen initiative and later recognized by the National Executive, which operated at a national level between 2001 and 2006 to discuss, coordinate and propose the policies and guidelines on basic, secondary and higher education for adults. It relied on the representation of the Ministry of Education, various regional and local governments, as well as diverse organizations from civil society and of educational institutions. It was conceived as a forum for consultation and agreement, offering the opportunity for representatives and officials specialized in adult education to participate in the design of policies and medium and long-term strategies, in the monitoring and evaluation of the same, as well as in the agreement between the State and civil society.
