National Commitment for Education
The National Commitment for Education aims to agree on a State Policy to improve the quality of education in Panama. To reach this agreement, government representatives, teachers, students, parents, individuals from the private sector, academics, workers and nongovernmental organizations, specializing in education, gathered. In October 2016, proposals to improve education were discussed around five axes: quality, equality, investment, teacher and director training and administrative management. At the end of the process, a public policy was created with a long-term vision for education with actions, commitments, expected results and indicators for future measurement, monitoring and evaluation.
