Presentation

The Government of Mexico City, through its Program Prepa Sí, is pleased to invite researchers, teachers, students, administrators and officials of upper-secondary and higher education and in general people interested in that academic realm to participate in the Second International Congress on Upper-secondary and Higher Education “the youth in the knowledge era” (CEMSS2009), to be held on November 16-20 in Mexico City.

The Congress aims at providing a forum for the exchange of knowledge, experiences and ideas on the design, operation, evaluation and perspectives of upper-secondary and higher education. At the same time, it seeks to motivate discussions on the mechanisms that promote quality and equity in education as well as to share insights into the promotion of civic culture and sustainable development. It also intends to encourage a debate on the impact that information and communication technologies have on students and (the process of) learning as well as on the internationalization of education and the importance and role of arts, culture, and sports in the youth’s social, academic and intellectual development. This congress will also reflect on the youth in the knowledge era and its role in future societies.
