Silvia Montoya is an Argentinian public agency manager, policy analysis researcher and is currently the director of the UNESCO Institute for Statistics [1] .
Training
[edit]Silvia Montoya holds a master's degree and a doctorate in policy analysis from the Frederick S. Pardee RAND Graduate School, as well as a master's degree in Public Administration from John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.
Career
[edit]Silvia Montoya was a professor and researcher at the Catholic University of Argentina. Between 2012 and 2014, Silvia was the General Director of the Unit for the Comprehensive Evaluation of the Quality of Education within the Ministry of Education in Argentina. In particular, she coordinated Argentina's participation in several international assessment programs, including the Latin American Program on the Quality of Education of the Organization of Ibero-American States (OEI), the International Computer and Information Literacy Survey of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), the International Study on Civics and Citizenship Education, the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMMS), the International Student Reading Study (PIRLS), and the Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) [2] .
Since 2015, she has been the director of the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS). In 2019, she published with Robert Jenkins, Head of Education and Associate Director of the Division Program, "Are the Education Goals Out of Reach?" They note that the situation of children not in school in the world has not changed much in 10 years and that it is girls who are the first to be excluded from the education system [3] .
Allegations of bullying
[edit]In 2018, UNESCO's Division of Internal Oversight Services (SCI) commissioned two reports, a field audit and an evaluation, both of which reported concerns about the staffing and management of the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS). The evaluation report states, in particular, that the working climate at the UIS "leaves a lot to be desired" and that "UIS internal management needs urgent attention". Some measures were taken to address this situation, such as hiring Nutan Wozencroft as a "buffer" between Montoya and her team, but these measures ultimately proved ineffective.
In 2019, three official complaints of harassment at UIS were filed directly against Director Silvia Montoya. Although this prompted two internal investigations, one of which concluded there was sufficient evidence that she "created a hostile work environment" and "either recklessly disregarded or lacked the capacity to perform the duties of a manager," no disciplinary action was taken.
In 2021, two new complaints were filed against Montoya, one of which was signed by 12 current and former employees. These complaints were consolidated into one complaint, totaling four formal complaints involving 14 current and former staff members. Regarding these new allegations, Nicholas Jeffreys, UNESCO Deputy Director-General for Administration and Management, advised UNESCO's internal oversight services to discontinue their investigation due to their similarity to the initial allegations from 2019.
In addition to formal complaints against her, five annual staff surveys have revealed dissatisfaction with how the Institute is run, with results such as 0% of staff believing that “bullying or harassment is taken seriously by the UIS,” and only 5% strongly agreeing with the statement that “UIS cares about the well-being of its employees", while 43% strongly disagree with the same statement.
Dankert Vedeler, chair of the board of the UNESCO Institute for Statistics, refuted these claims, calling the growing difficulties necessary to implement much-needed reforms. [4] .
