Education, Challenges and Reflections.

More about the book

The book explores the rise of educational privatization in Latin America since the 1980s, highlighting how policies promoting the notion that private education is superior have influenced state reforms. It examines the subtle implementation of reforms that encourage both internal and external privatization, driven by managerial state reforms and new public management principles. Key themes include school autonomy, accountability, and the professionalization of school management, reflecting a conservative shift in educational policy.
