Citizen Assemblies for Educational Sovereignty
The Councils for Educational Sovereignty are a space created by civil society, in which diverse social actors meet throughout the country, with the goal of debating and developing lines of action that will serve as an input for a new law on higher education. Authorities from different levels of government also participated in the debate, in a personal capacity and voluntarily. In addition to the local assemblies, a federal digital assembly was organized.
