| dc.description.abstract | In its 2026 edition, The State of Education in Latin America and the Caribbean, the biennial publication of the Information Center for the Improvement of Learning (CIMA), focuses on the territorial dimension as a structural component for understanding how education systems function and for supporting the design of more contextualized, targeted, and evidence-based education policies. The first section of the report provides an update on the regional education landscape, based on indicators from CIMAs education statistics portal. The analysis explicitly incorporates the territorial dimension through comparisons between urban and rural areas. The second section proposes an analytical framework that conceives territory as an expression, context, and determinant of educational phenomena, and synthesizes conceptual and empirical advances from recent literature on the use of georeferenced data in education, with an emphasis on accessibility analysis. It also presents six experiences that illustrate concrete applications of territorial analysis for planning educational supply, infrastructure, school transportation, connectivity, and climate risk management in different contexts across the region. |
