Comparative and International Education in Latin America

This course provides an introduction to the analysis of the status of educational systems and structures in Latin America from a comparative and international perspective. It addresses the impact of globalization on education systems and the role that international organizations, NGOs and the private sector play in providing and financing alternative educational programs at various levels of instruction. Being the most unequal region of the world, particular importance will be placed on the relationship between the evolving democratic systems, equity and social justice. Participants will also have the opportunity to propose and explore innovative initiatives and educational reforms in the region.
