The ANEP has its headquarters in the Agraciada Building, located on Libertador Avenue in front of Plaza Fabini in the central business district of Montevideo.[1] Designed by architects Miguel Ángel Canale and Beltrán Arbeleche, and built in the 1950s, it served as the headquarters of the Uruguayan airline PLUNA.[2]

History

edit

The ANEP was created on March 28, 1985, by President Julio María Sanguinetti with the promulgation of Law No. 15,739 –known as the Education Law–.[3] It has the legal status of an autonomous entity, which grants autonomy from the Executive Branch to the organization of the public educational system. However, it is about technical and administrative autonomy, although not financial.[4]

Current organization

edit

The ANEP is administered by the Consejo Directivo Central (Spanish for 'Central Directive Council'), a body of five members of which three are appointed by the President of the Republic acting in the Council of Ministers, and the other two are elected by the body's teaching staff.[5] In addition, the administration has seven sectoral directorates and three secretariats.

The directorates that administer the different stages of the educational system depend on the Central Directive Cousil, designing the curriculum, supervising the development of classes, projecting salary budgets and supervising the authorized private institutes.[6]

Presidents

edit

The chairman of the Central Directive Council is the one who serves as president of the National Public Administration.
