Their full incorporation into the benefits of development implies achieving that education
contributes to making our countries pluricultural countries that are even more intercultural and
consequently, democratic; in this way, interculturality means that the relationships between
different members of society are based in the knowledge and appreciation of the richness that
signifies diversity. It also implies counting on quality programs of cultural attention that are
linguistically pertinent, and that establish spaces of participation and co-responsibility.
Due to all these reasons, my delegation suggests that in the conclusions of this forum the
importance of the quality of education be placed prominently, with a bilingual and intercultural
focus, and that education be available to all, inclusive, and without limitation to the marginalized
classes of our society.
Thank you very much.
