Abstract	The purpose of this report, which incorporates also information and comments put forward at the seminar by participants from Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Brazil, is to initiate dialogue and international co- operation with respect to new global trends and secondary education curriculum changes in Latin America in the decade of the 1990s. It is divided into seven chapters preceded by an introduction, which briefly surveys the question within the context of Latin American educational reforms and the institutional characteristics of individual countries in the region. The first chapter looks at some of the main changes occurring in the world and the new challenges these represent for the education of young people. Chapter II puts forward some considerations regarding the shape that is being given to new curriculum material to meet these challenges in the context of Latin America. Chapter III focuses briefly on a few key features that are giving a renewed identity to secondary education, especially competencies and the development of personalities. Chapter IV gives suggestions regarding the characteristics of official curricular elements in the 1990s. Chapter V looks at the impact of curriculum changes at present and highlights the tensions apparent in new curriculum proposals, in relation to continuity and innovation in disciplines and curriculum content, in the teaching of other languages, in the adoption of alternative forms of curriculum and in the connection with youth cultures. Chapter VI outlines some of the concerns which are emerging in countries where the process of curriculum change is already well advanced, basically those related to the institutional component of change. Lastly, Chapter VII contains clarifications and explanations arising from the dialogue among specialists, together with some suggestions for exchange and co-operation between Latin American countries and teams and institutions in other parts of the world, especially through UNESCO's International Bureau of Education.
