The Organization of Ibero-American States (“OEI”) appointed on Wednesday (Aug 27) Brazilian Paulo Speller as its secretary-general for 2015-2018. OEI is made up of 19 Latin-American nations, plus Spain, Portugal and Andorra.
Paulo Speller is a psychologist with a PhD in political science. He was the president of the University of International Integration of African-Brazilian Lusophony (“UNILAB”) from 2010 to 2013, and is currently Secretary for Superior Education at Brazil’s Ministry of Education.
Speller’s nomination as OEI Secretary-General was unanimously approved. He is to take the place of Spaniard Álvaro Marchesi, who has occupied the position for the last eight years. During the meeting, Mexico’s Education Secretary Emilio Chuayffet was named head of OEI’s board of directors for the same period. Mexico was chosen to host the next general assembly, slated for 2018.
