Abstract

CICARE, Adriana C.. Where are public policies in education going? A look from the international and MERCOSUR point of view. Rev. secr. Trib. perm. revis. [online]. 2019, vol.7, n.14, pp.295-312. ISSN 2304-7887.  https://doi.org/10.16890/rstpr.a7.n14.p295.

From an international point of view, we reflect upon where education state policies are directed, observing Irina Bokova’s speech mood, (UNESCO - Milan, 2010). With a deeply humanist sense, the construction of a world human community is encouraged; education, communication, culture and science, which are presented as suitable to give a sustainable answer to mankind’s problems.

Revising the goal of the maximization of society’s well being, and its chronological identification -growth, economic development, sustainable development, human development, sustainable human development- and, in accordance with such speech, we continue to analyse Incheon Declaration - Education 2030 - with the Action Framework to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 4- “To grant quality, inclusive and equitable education, and encourage permanent learning opportunities for everyone”; the Third Regional Conference of Superior Education -CRES 2018, Còrdoba-, with Action Plan over Superior Education in Latin America and the Caribbean, in the perspective of sustainable human development and the commitment with fairer and more egalitarian societies; the Cochabamba Agreements (2018) with the Regional Roadmap for the implementation of ODS4- E2030 in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Finally, the Educational MERCOSUR work is analysed as regards building a citizens’ awareness and a regional identity when observing Human Rights, and the development of Strategic Plans, reaching Action Plan (SEM) 2016-2020, with goals and activities in accordance with Schedule 2030 (ONU, Goal 4 (ODS4).

Keywords : Education; State policies; International documents; MERCOSUR.
