In 2023, the proportion of female trained teachers in secondary education across various Latin American countries varied significantly. Dominican Republic and Cuba topped the list with full employment of trained female teachers, followed by Turks and Caicos Islands and Colombia with slightly lower figures. Notably, Belize showed a positive trend with a 3.2% increase, whereas British Virgin Islands had a significant decline of 13.62%. Other countries such as Grenada and Saint Lucia also experienced negative variations. Over the past five years, the compound annual growth rates have exhibited mixed trends of growth and decline across these nations.
Looking forward, countries are expected to continue their efforts to strengthen the proportion of trained female teachers. This may involve policy changes, improved training programs, and efforts to stabilize or improve the workforce dynamics. Monitoring these developments will be crucial in achieving a more gender-equitable educational environment in secondary education across Latin America.
