Additionally, eight sectors will hold working sessions over six meetings, with the right to speak and vote, to decide on these reforms based on consensus proposals. Similarly, visits to all educational regions nationwide will be conducted through constructive dialogue meetings to contribute to the proposal that the Ministry of Education will present.
