In collaboration with the Partnership for Educational Revitalization in the Americas (PREAL), the Private Sector Council for Educational Assistance (CoSPAE) initiated the “Competencies for Strengthening Leadership and Management in Panamanian Schools” project to improve the quality of basic education by establishing a policy for the professionalization of school principals and regional school supervisors. The initiative included the definition of competency profiles of these positions and a preliminary training phase of 99 principals and 23 supervisors (regional directors) from three distinct regions.
