The Technical Assistance Partnership—Expert Deployment Mechanism (TAP-EDM) along with Alejandro Rodríguez Aguirre, a Canadian expert in Comprehensive Sexual Education (CSE), is collaborating with Bolivia’s Observatory of Educational Quality to enhance the curricular and political framework of comprehensive sexual education CSE. The Observatory aims to address the gaps in the frameworks and to develop specific content, policies, and strategies for national implementation of CSE, guided by the United Nations technical guidelines and aligned with Bolivia’s plurinational context and approach.
This initiative will conduct qualitative research through the Observatory, examining CSE’s content, communications and training. It will also explore teacher training characteristics and the perspectives of parents and students based on their experiences.
The national expert will research 20 educational units in La Paz, Santa Cruz, Tarija, Pando, and Potosí and will draw on the experience of various educational system actors. Alejandro and the national expert will identify the existing challenges and will provide recommendations to adjust and reorient the curriculum content and the training related to CSE based on Canadian and international standards of CSE.
