Regional Focus: Latin America | School Leadership Matters Summit 2025

Описание: Si queremos que cada niño prospere, ¿qué debe cambiar en la forma en que apoyamos a los líderes escolares? (If we want every child to thrive, what must change in how we support school leaders?) This powerful session brings together voices from across Latin America to respond to this anchor question. Watch Octavio Lizama (Rector, Betterland School, Chile), Carolina Lopez (Research Economist, World Bank), Agustin Porres (Regional Director, Varkey Foundation), Aurora Delgado Comones (Student, Peru - Teach For All), and Paulo Volante (Professor, Catholic University of Chile and RILE Researcher) as they spark ideas, share evidence, and open space for dialogue about the leadership Latin America needs to strengthen education systems.

The School Leadership Matters Summit 2025, co-convened by Global School Leaders and UNESCO GEM Report, brought together school leaders, practitioners, policymakers, researchers, NGOs, philanthropists, and others to explore how empowering school leaders transforms education. With 9 sessions across 3 days, 30+ speakers discussed the critical role of leadership in advancing early childhood education, foundational learning, and gender equity across the Global South.

Held virtually from November 4th to 6th, 2025, the summit bridged the gap between global data and lived experience, centering voices from Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
