Paraguay: Rutas para el desarrollo

In 2011, the Organization of Ibero-American States for Education and Culture assumed the responsibility of coordinating actions and monitoring a very ambitious educational program called "Educational Goals 2021: the education we want for the bicentennial generation". This article pretends to know the historical evolution of the Paraguayan educational system towards this program and analyze the progress and achievements of Paraguay, one of the signatory countries of this project. For this analysis we use national and international reports that allow us to know in detail and reliability the results of the application and development of the eleven goals of the educational program in the Paraguayan educational context. However, by extension of this article we focus on three of these eleven goals achieving very relevant results regarding the achievements and absences of the objectives of the goals analyzed. The data reflect a considerable advance in educational policies from 2011 to the present, although there are still notable shortcomings in aspects related, mainly, to the training, selection and strengthening of the teaching profession. It is necessary to point out that the educational statistical data to which we have had access was very limited since the last accessible MEC report from Paraguay is from 2011, so we had to resort to external reports.

The changed geopolitical situation and deterioration of Russia-West relations has induced the expansion of trade and economic cooperation between Russia and Latin American countries. Currently, Paraguay is explicitly showing its readiness to strengthen recently built trade relations with Russia. In order to fuel their increased mutual interest, it is crucial to struggle with impediments that hinder the trade between them. The export potential assessments demonstrate that Russia and Paraguay indeed have potential to intensify bilateral trade, even though the opportunities for export diversification are quite limited. The authors conduct a survey to identify the major trade costs and their role in the development of the Russian-Paraguayan trade relations. The survey findings reveal that transportation and logistics costs significantly impede the exports of both countries as well as information-related obstacles represent the top concern for Russian export companies, while non-tariff measures, language and cultural barriers are relevant for Paraguayan firms. In order to intensify the Russian-Paraguayan commercial relations, the policy makers could deal with these barriers via a higher exchange of market information through different institutional channels.
