In the past two decades, Latin American countries have made enormous progress in ensuring that all children have access to education. Now, attention has shifted to English skills. The Latin American business community is increasingly vocal in its demand for more English speakers, and, in response, a majority of the region’s countries have rolled out education reforms to teach English better and more widely. It is too early to judge these reforms based solely on adult proficiency levels, but national testing has shown promising results among students. Successful models will provide a roadmap for countries with less successful programs in the region. For the second year running, Costa Rica’s English proficiency has improved. English has been a required subject there for decades, but, unlike many countries in the region, Costa Rica has invested heavily in teacher training and recruitment. Today English is taught in every secondary school and in 87% of primary schools, and nearly every English teacher holds a tertiary degree. Testing in 2015 showed that Costa Rican English teachers have the highest level of language mastery in the region. *Source:(https://www.ef.com/ca/epi/regions/latin-america/) |

As more companies have access to overseas companies that offer outsourcing, wages have changed for many workers. With lower standards of living, third world companies can offer their services at a rate greatly reduced from those in countries with higher standards of living. This has affected many workers in the United States as well as other large countries as more companies embrace the outsourcing trend. While it means a greater profit margin for the companies, it can also lead to reduced earning potential for employees. Cultural, religious and ethnic diversity in the workplace presents a need for more employee training. In order to protect their companies and their new employees from discrimination, managers have had to implement policies and offer training to existing employees to make sure everyone can accept one another. This has led to a greater appreciation of other cultures and viewpoints in some companies. |

Mexico (23%) has higher education studies, compared to 44% on average in the OECD and about 30% in countries like Colombia and Chile. There is also enormous inequality according to ethnicity. In 2015, only 6.6% of Mexicans of indigenous origin between the ages of 25 and 64 had completed higher education, in contrast to almost 19% of those of non-indigenous origin. In order to promote equity in higher education, the study recommends intensifying efforts to improve higher secondary education; continuing to work to strengthen higher technical education, including university technical programs; and creating a more adequate and transparent system of federal financial support for university students. |
