Abstract

Twenty years after its creation, the "Educational Sector of MERCOSUR" (SEM) shows significant progress as well as challenges and weaknesses that justify an analysis aimed at supporting the creation of a common educational space in the region at a time of MERCOSUR geographical and cultural expansion. Since the adoption of the Memorandum of Understanding in 1991 to the present, the SEM has reached reasonable institutionalization and consolidation. This work presents us with a strong Educational MERCOSUR, and taking into account the diversity and heterogeneity that characterizes its Member States and partners, the next challenge is creating a common regional space for education based on the principles of flexibility, trust, solidarity, transparency, gradual, dialogue and interaction, providing a framework for multilateral and bilateral initiatives, both governmental and educational institutions themselves.
