Working Paper
Social dialogue in education in Latin America: A regional survey
Marcela Gajardo (Sociologist, CINDE/PREAL) and Francisca Gómez (Geographer, Independent consultant)
Background document for the Joint ILO/UNESCO Committee of Experts on the Application of the Recommendations concerning Teaching Personnel (CEART)

[full-text, 58 pages]
[excerpt]
The paper provides a snapshot of the degree to which change occurs in line with
international standards on teachers rights and responsibilities and the processes derived
from ILO standards on freedom of association, the right to organize and collective
bargaining. Examples of good practices and successful reforms derived from healthy social
dialogue mechanisms, as well as a look at failures or stalemates that undermine reforms
enrich the paper. It concludes with a summary of continuing challenges and steps that
might usefully be taken by various actors to build strong social dialogue structures in
education in the interests of good teaching practices and quality education.
As recognition grows of the central role that teachers and their organizations must
play in the provision of universally accessible and high quality education and training, the
study is intended to shed light on how social dialogue contributes to these objectives in
countries of the Latin American region, and provides some basis for decision-makers to
reflect on this topical workplace issue when considering further reforms.
