UNESCO’s Contributions to the Development of Education in Latin American Countries: Brazil and Bolivia

Abstract

Since the 21st century, Latin America has gone through several transformations most notably politically and economically. Inequality and illiteracy in the region are one of the main issues, and the economic growth in the region has encouraged the governments to acknowledge the need to transform their educational structures. Investments were made in the region after the end of World War II with the creation of organizations such as UNESCO and UNICEF to boost the quality of education and promote scientific development, especially in the lower developed regions in the area. This article aims to analyze these aspects, mainly, their development and the educational regulation in Brazil and Bolivia that today are working to eradicate poverty through delivering quality education for all. Keywords-Latin America, Brazil, Bolivia, education,
