OVERVIEW OF THE FUNCTIONS OF THE POST
In the framework of the Summit on the Transformation of Education held in September 2022 by the United Nations General Secretariat, the Alliance for Ecological Education ( see more in https://www.unesco.org/es/education-sustainable-development/greening-future), was launched, which aims to carry out a solid, coordinated and global action that prepares all students to acquire knowledge, the competencies, attitudes and values necessary to face climate change and promote sustainable development. To carry out its actions, 4 pillars of action are proposed, in the curricular field, of teacher training, of the capacities of educational systems and communities, ecological schools.
As a follow-up to the above, UNESCO is developing a global guide with curricular guidelines that will seek to support Ministries of Education around the world and other key actors, in their perspectives and capacities to strengthen the integration and approach of ecological education in national curricula.
In order to feed back this document, UNESCO is collaborating with Ministries of Education around the world that were identified to review and enrich it based on inputs from both the organization of consultation processes with key actors in the education as well as the analysis of national documents, policies and curricular guidelines, which can provide perspectives, contents, concepts, competences and pedagogies that could be useful to build a global perspective on the subject. One of these Ministries is that of Education, Science and Technology of El Salvador.
Considering the above, the UNESCO Multisectoral Regional Office in San José, with representation for Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama, requires the hiring of a consultant or consultant who, under the supervision of the Education Sector of said Office and in close coordination and collaboration with the aforementioned Ministry of Education, Science and Technology of El Salvador, carry out the aforementioned curricular analysis. The aforementioned analysis should be reflected in a document that, in addition to providing feedback to the global document that UNESCO is producing, identifies, in turn, gaps, challenges and opportunities to develop a proposal to curricularly strengthen ecological education and for sustainable development in El Salvador.
