This report summarizes UNESCO's co-operation activities within the framework of the Major Project of Education in the field of Education in Latin America and the Caribbean between May 1991 and March 1993. Regional priorities had been established in Quito (Ecuador) in 1991 to focus on: (1) women as protagonists both in family life and economic development; (2) ethnic groups and their participation in global development while preserving their ethnic and cultural characteristics; and (3) disadvantaged children, young people and adults through literacy programs and others to facilitate their increased participation in the cultural and working world. The document is directed at the participants of the meeting as well as other institutions or specialists interested in the development of the Major Project in terms of its three objectives, specific areas of co-operation and target groups. This document attempts to show the impact of co-operation through PROMEDLAC IV and PROMEDLAC V on regional education. This impact is analyzed from a technical point of view in terms of national and regional action.
