The 16th Congress of the Latin American and Caribbean Continental Students Organization (OCLAE) enters its second day Friday and runs until Aug. 15.
According to statements by members of university student organizations from Uruguay and Argentina, Gabriel Bermudez and Leonardo Moyano, the meeting is expected to produce important political resolutions asking nations to develop just and inclusive education programs.
The objective is for the leaders of each of the 23 OCLAE member nations to develop state policies to bring about education for the benefit of all.
The Montevideo event coincides with the radicalization of the Chilean student movement, which is demanding deep-going education reform in the country.
On Thursday, Chilean students received several examples of solidarity and support for their cause by Uruguayan youth and students and delegates to the OCLAE congress during a march through the capital's streets.
The OCLAE, which represents more than 110 million Latin American students, is also celebrating its 45th anniversary.
