The process involves various sectors linked to education, aiming to reach agreements on key issues such as system governance, educational quality, teacher evaluation, higher education, and other points that will shape the direction of teaching in Panama. The Ministry of Education held a meeting with the Education, Culture, and Sports Commission of the National Assembly as part of the process to build the new Organic Law of Education. The meeting took place under a scheme of active listening and idea exchange, with the aim of updating a legal framework that no longer responds to the current reality of the classrooms. Minister Lucy Molinar explained that it is a joint work between the Executive and the Legislative branches. She pointed out that the objective is to provide the education system with a law that will directly benefit the students. During the meeting, the importance of maintaining harmonious collaboration between the parties was emphasized so that the result is a functional and modern regulation. From the Assembly, deputy Jorge Bloise, president of the commission, made it clear that the path will be dialogue. He stated that this process is based on listening and consensus, and recognized that discussing this law represents one of the biggest challenges the country has faced in recent decades in terms of education. The consultations will not be limited to a single table. The discussion on the country's education is beginning to take shape.
