National Education Congress (CNE)
In 2006, as an endpoint to the "Educational Debate", the National Education Congress "Julio Castro" was held, a process with the aim of generating a new education law. In 2008 Law 18.437 was dictated, also known as the "General Law of Education", which includes the creation of the National Education Congress. From that moment on, such Congress must be held on the first year of each government period. It is advisory and consultative in all matters relating to the application of the law. The law also establishes that it must have a plural and comprehensive integration, reflecting the citizenship of Uruguay. In 2013 the call was made to the 2nd National Congress of Education "Maestra Reina Reyes". As on the previous occasion, it was carried out with the inclusion of different participatory levels. The Organizing Committee of the National Congress of Education (CO_CNE) and the Departmental Organizing Commissions were created, which organized 256 Territorial Assemblies throughout the country culminating in the National Congress, which was attended by 500 delegates. They published a final report with the resolutions taken during the process. The last edition of the National Congress of Education took place in 2017.
