ICAE Virtual Seminar

“Adult Education and Development: Post 2015”

10 – 24 of March

 

Comment by   Carolyn Medel-Anonuevo

Deputy Director of UIL

 

Thank you to ICAE for initiating this virtual seminar.

Daniel has pointed out that we should use the upcoming revision of the 1976
Recommendation on the Development of Adult Education (RDAE). This draft
revision will be presented to the UNESCO General Conference in 2015 for
approval  and the Institute is now preparing a process (ensuring substantive
discussions at the same following legal procedures) to arrive at a revised
RDAE. This will start with an expert meeting to be held  in Hamburg this
May, to be followed by an online consultation in June and a formal
consultation process to Member States starting September. 

The timetable of the revision of the 1976 RDAE is also coinciding with the
Revision of the Recommendation concerning Technical and Vocational Education
so we are working closely with our colleagues in Paris and in Bonn to make
sure that these two documents are speaking to each other.  The expert
meeting in May in fact, will address the two Recommendations and therefore
bring together experts in AE and TVET. 

We hope that you would all actively participate in our online consultation
in June. For our part, we will be listening to the discussion and make sure
that the key issues coming out from this are also reflected in the May
expert meeting.

Dear colleagues, I find it very interesting the synthesis achieved and I
share one by one the issues that have been considered as key priorities for
inclusive and lifelong education, following the steps of the CONFINTEA VI in
Belem Do Para. 

However, I want to make three specific points that I think we can relieve in
this dialog : 

a) the compliance with the constitutional mandates of the region, especially
in recent Constitutions, which have taken a huge step in the incorporation
of Human Rights, the normative framework of human rights within
international law influencing our domestic legislation, because these
Constitutions mark a way forward, determine a priority for states and their
budget allocations, as well as to the follow-up of their progress in terms
of DESCs and the respect of multicultural and intercultural aspects defined
in them (most mother tongues are transmitted by indigenous women in the
region, the most illiterate ones, with all the problems of educational
governance and educational quality that this entails). 

b ) The inclusion of gender in education, in a cross-cutting way, for a
COEDUCATIONAL education (a part of the quality we're talking about), that
exceeds quantitative approaches and deepens qualitative ones that keep
repeating sexist patterns that are then translated into the reality of lack
of rights and problems of development for half the regional population that
are women, and also for people with other sexual orientations and gender
identities that, even if they are now included in some constitutions (such
as Ecuador and Bolivia ) as subjects of law, education systems have not
adapted at all for these rights to be real and effective in their lives. 

c) Finally, I am concerned about ICTs, especially in their view of gender,
sexual orientation, multi and intercultural aspects, gender violence, from
the educational point of view. I think we have to say that if multicultural
and intercultural co-education is not funded, there will be no changes in
the states, democracies and governances in our so diverse region. 

A big hug and let's continue the debate!

Estimados/as compañeros/as. Me parece muy interesante la sintesis lograda y
comparto uno a uno los temas que se han considerado como prioridades
fundamentales para una educacion inclusiva y a lo largo de toda la vida,
siguiendo los pasos de la CONFITEA VI en Belem Do Para. 

No obstante quiero aportar  tres puntos especificos que creo que podemos
relevar en este dialogo 

a) el cumplimiento de los mandatos constitucionales de la region,
especialmente de las ultimas Constituciones, que han dado un paso enorme en
la incorporacion de los Derechos Humanos, el marco normativo de DDHH dentro
del Derecho Internacional incidiendo en nuestro ordenamiento interno, por
que estas Constituciones marcan un camino a seguir, determinan una prioridad
para los estados y sus asignaciones presupuestarias, como tambien para el
seguimiento de sus avances progresivos en terminos de los DESCs y de los
respetos a las multiculturalidades e interculturalidades definidas en las
mismas ( la mayoria de las lenguas madres son transmitidas por mujeres
indigenas en la region, las mas analfabetas, con todos los problemas de
gobernanza educativa y de calidad educativa que esto conlleva). 

b) La inclusion de genero transversal en la educacion, para una educacion
COEDUCATIVA (parte de la calidad de la que hablamos), que supere las miradas
cuantitativas y profundice las cualitativas que siguen repitiendo patrones
sexistas que luego se traducen en la realidad de falta de derechos y
problemas de desarrollo para la mitad de la poblacion regional que son las
mujeres y tambien para personas con otras orientaciones sexuales e
identidades de genero que si bien estan ahora incluidas en algunos textos
constitucionales (como Ecuador y Bolivia)  como sujetas de derecho, los
sistemas educativos no se han adaptado en absoluto para que estos derechos
sean en sus vidas reales y efectivos.

c) Finalmente, me preocupan las TICs, Sobre todo en su mirada de genero,
orientaciones sexuales, multi e interculturalidad, violencias de genero,
desde el punto de vista educativo. Creo que tenemos que decir que si no se
financia la coeducacion multicultural e intercultural no habra cambios en
los estados, las democracias, las gobernabilidades, en nuestra region tan
diversa. 

Un gran abrazo y seguimos en el debate!.
