The clear division of the world into two groups,
one with rich and one with poor countries, has
been increasingly accentuated throughout the last
50 years. This distribution of wealthis not due
to the concentration of production factors, but
rather to those related to knowledge. In OECD
countries, income per capita has trippled, from
7,300 to 23,000 dlls while in Latinamerica and
the Caribbean it went from 3,000 to 6,200 dlls.
In this way, the relation went from 40 to 25.
3
Given the latter, countires are preocupied with
reforms in the educational sector.
A key question
Is greater schooling of individuals equivalent to
greater abilities (competencies) to be successful
in modern life?
4
Basic Concepts
5
Competence
The ability to meet demands or carry out a task
successfully, and consists of both cognitive and
non-cognitive dimensions.
6
Key competencies Competencies that are important
across multiple areas of life and that contribute
to an overall successful life and a
well-functioning society. Labour
competencies Set of knowledge, skills and
actitudes that are applied to the performance of
a productive function, based on the quality
requirements expected by the productive sector.
7
Qualification

• It is achieved when a national or international
  agency accepts that an individual has learned
  knowledge and skills to specified standards.
• The standard of learning is confirmed by means of
  an assessment process.
• Confers official recognition of value in the
  labour market and in further education and
  training.
• Can be a legal entitlement to practice a trade.

In the international context...

• An analysis of the factors that impulse economic
  growth show that the increase in labour
  productivity accounted for at least half of the
  GDP increase per capita in most OECD countries.
• Labour productivity can increase in many ways and
  human capital has a main function in this
  equation, not only as a factor that links
  production added to the stock of productive
  consumables, but also as one that determines the
  rhythm of technological progress.

16
As a result
The PMETyC is an education policy instrument that
responds to the demands of global economic
integration, in which the creation of value, as
well as the acquisition and conservation of
competitive advantages, essentially depend on
human talent.
