“The core of our effort is to help the countries of the Americas capitalize on the revolution in information technology and digital communications,” Scheman told the Third Meeting of Ministers of Education. Cooperation between the public and private sectors is a key element of this process, said Scheman, adding that “the challenge of catching up with educational demand is too large for any single actor.”
The IACD manages several initiatives in cooperation with other entities. For example, Scheman said, it has been able to triple the OAS fellowship program thanks to the financial participation of universities through the Educational Portal of the Americas, an OAS resource that offers opportunities in on-line education.
The topic of new technologies has been central to this ministerial meeting. During a ceremony last evening at Mexico´s Public Education Secretariat, OAS Secretary General César Gaviria and Public Education Secretary Reyes Tamez Guerra of Mexico signed an agreement under which the Mexican government provides the other OAS member countries with free access to its educational satellite network, EDUSAT, and creates the Educational Channel of the Americas (Channel 27).
In his speech at the opening of the ministerial meeting, Secretary General Gaviria recognized the generosity of the Mexican government and said that the satellite system “will allow the countries in the hemisphere to benefit not only from educational materials developed in Mexico but also those from other countries.” For his part, Scheman announced today that the Inter-American Agency for Cooperation and Development would contribute to this effort by ensuring that the countries have the equipment necessary to download the satellite signal, as well as the training and technical assistsance they need to use the technology.
The Third Meeting of Ministers of Education, which takes places in the framework of the OAS Inter-American Council on Integral Development, brings together education ministers and other high-level delegates from the 34 OAS member countries.
