Colombia appoints anti-abortion activist Ilva Myriam Hoyos as Education Minister

Colombia's President De la Espriella has appointed Ilva Myriam Hoyos, a lawyer and former aide to conservative Attorney General Alejandro Ordóñez, as Minister of Education. Her record as an anti-abortion activist and focus on gender issues signals a potential shift in education policy, though specific policy changes remain unclear. The appointment reflects the administration's conservative orientation and may affect curriculum and gender-related education programs.
