The workshop provided a comprehensive understanding of large-scale data collection methodologies, and was structured around data collection processes and the use of specialized software for data processing and recording. Beyond offering a broad perspective of these tasks, the workshop placed particular emphasis on coordinating the various stages of the pilot project, the effective implementation of activities, the constitution of work teams, and planning of essential resources to carry out the different actions.

One of the highlights of the event was the national presentation of the results of the study "Contribution to the teaching of socio-emotional skills", a talk given by Liliana Morawietz, researcher at the Center for Advanced Research in Education (CIAE) at the University of Chile. The study, which will soon be launched by UNESCO, will provide an updated view of socio-emotional skills, along with suggestions and activities for the development of pedagogical practices in the classrooms.

In the context of the workshop's inauguration, Carlos Henríquez, general coordinator of UNESCO's LLECE Laboratory, stressed: "We conduct evaluations not only to report how we are and compare ourselves with ourselves to improve, but we go beyond numbers and percentages to connect and contribute from evidence to better pedagogical strategies in the classroom. We are working to connect the evidence from the regional assessment with the action of improvement in the classroom in the context of the recovery and educational transformation driven by the countries of the region."

For her part, Claudia Ruiz de Estrada, Minister of Education of Guatemala, reaffirmed the importance of evaluation at the service of educational quality, driven by concrete evidence, which they have translated into the deployment of their national strategic plan in the classroom.

This workshop underscores UNESCO's commitment to generating evidence for the improvement of education in Latin America and the Caribbean at all educational levels. By providing experts with the tools and practical knowledge necessary for various large-scale evaluation processes, the path is being paved for the ERCE 2025 study to be a concrete tool that provides evidence, with reliable and valid criteria, to advance towards a fairer and higher quality education for all.
