Chile, Haiti and Paraguay are three countries from Latin America and the Caribbean where legislations clearly lead to the generation of profit and privatization in and from education. At the same time, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Honduras, Mexico and Peru have legislations that allow for profit in education. These are some preliminary findings of the study on \u201cProfit and education within legal frameworks in Latin America and the Caribbean\u201d that the Latin American Campaign for the Right to Education (CLADE) is conducting.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of the conclusions of the research were presented by Teise Garcia, from the Research and Study Group on Education Policy (GREPPE, by its Spanish acronym) from Brazil, during the virtual panel: \u201cMarketization and Profit in and from Education:\u00a0 Global and Regional Perspectives in Latin America and the Caribbean\u201d. The debate was held within the framework of <\/span>CIES 2020<\/span><\/a> on April 15.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe did not find a full prohibition that explicitly prevents public incentives to profit in any of the countries of the region that were analyzed in this study. Only Argentina is worth mentioning because bilateral and multilateral agreements related to profit generation are prohibited\u201d, stated Teise Garc\u00eda.<\/span>

\n<\/span>Apart from the researcher, the panel was attended by the following participants: David Archer from ActionAid International; and Cecilia G\u00f3mez from the Colombian Coalition for the Right to Education, (CCDE, by its Spanish acronym). Camilla Croso, General Coordinator of CLADE, and Toni Verger, from the Autonomous University of Barcelona, were in charge of the debate and moderation, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

The objective of the panel, organized by CLADE, was to promote reflections and dialogue on education privatization and profit processes in the region, as well as their negative impact on the realization of education as a human right for all.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
