Latin America is the world's most unequal region, with 40% of the total population affected by poverty. In the 21st century, education remains the key to reducing the gap between rich and poor, but much work remains to achieve an inclusive and accountable cross-sector partnership on education and development in the region. Jorge Cela, S.J. will examine how faith-based organizations play a key role in this effort through his work with Fe y Alegria, the largest public-private partnership on education in Latin America and the Caribbean. Gasper LoBiondo, S.J., senior fellow at the Woodstock Theological Center, and former teacher in Chile, will provide comments.
