Latin America must "rethink" its education investment amid technological change, says incoming OEI secretary general
Andrés Delich, incoming secretary general of the OEI, told EFE that Latin America must "rethink" how it invests and spends on education to adapt its systems to the dynamics driven by technology and artificial intelligence. Delich, who will replace Mariano Jabonero in January, said resources are lacking and spending quality must improve, and anticipated that states will close school sections due to falling student numbers. He also backed micro-credentials as a shorter, more flexible training format.
