Focusing on comparative examination of educational reforms, this book explores the relation of state practices and educational knowledge to changes in culture and economics among nations. Countries with different state traditions and political regimes are studied to understand how national and global settings are interrelated in current restructuring of education and social welfare policies related to schooling. The regional cases focus on the policies of the European Union, restructuring efforts in Latin America, and family, child welfare, and early childhood policies in Eastern Europe. In addition, specific studies of national changes in Argentina, Great Britain, Germany, Russia, Tanzania, South Africa, and the U.S. are presented. Educational Knowledge makes a unique contribution by bringing neo-Marxist theories, world systems, and post-modern cultural and political theories into a conversation about the changes that are occurring in the educational arena. This book will interest not only specialists in the field of education studying educational reform, but also economists, political scientists, sociologists, and comparative historians who examine the functioning of education within the larger context of modernization. Contributors include Benita Blessing, Marianne Bloch, Alejandra Brgin, Gunilla Dahlberg, Peter Drewek, Ines Dussel, Tony Edwards, Sharon Gewirtz, Lisa Hennon, Steve Kerr, Johan Müller, Antonio Novoa, Thomas S. Popkewitz, Jurgen Schriewer, Gillermiona Tiramonti, Carlos Alberto Torres, Frances Vavrus, and Geoff Whitty.

En los últimos quince años, América Latina mejoró en muchos aspectos, mediante la implementación de políticas públicas incluyentes que lograron disminuir la pobreza y ampliar las oportunidades de los sectores más postergados. Pero una mirada que aspire a ser verdaderamente crítica y progresista no puede conformarse con estas conquistas, sino que debe ir más allá y poner el foco en el trabajo pendiente. En este libro, Pablo Gentili, uno de los especialistas en educación más reconocidos y además un estudioso apasionado de los procesos regionales, elige el registro vital de la crónica para contar y explicar temas cruciales de los que depende el futuro de las sociedades latinoamericanas del siglo XXI: el estado de la escuela pública, la infancia, la situación de la mujer y las múltiples formas de la discriminación. A través de textos ágiles que logran captar magistralmente una realidad compleja, el autor reflexiona sobre la situación de niños y adolescentes expuestos a la pobreza, con escasas posibilidades de acceder a la educación en la primera infancia. Analiza el panorama de la escuela pública (la falta de maestros, la desvalorización del ejercicio profesional) y cuestiona duramente las visiones que criminalizan a los docentes sin proponer alternativas e idealizan como único estándar de calidad el que proveen las pruebas internacionales como el PISA. A la vez, revela cómo opera la discriminación por género, condición social e incluso raza, de modo que hombres y mujeres, negros y blancos, indígenas y campesinos, aun cuando accedan al sistema educativo, no valen lo mismo en el mercado de trabajo. En un estilo que sabe conjugar datos e interpretación personal, agudeza y compromiso, Pablo Gentili construye un mapa de las desigualdades que persisten y de las esperanzas que hay que alimentar con políticas públicas eficaces, pero, sobre todo, aporta un diagnóstico certero y conmovedor de la nueva América Latina.

The twentieth century has been marked by the expansion of educational opportunities worldwide. It has been the century of education, and the role of the state in the promotion of public education has been decisive. Yet, at the millennium's turn efforts to diminish the role of the state are rapidly changing education, especially in terms of its role in democracy. This comprehensive handbook offers a fresh view of the social context of education, outlining the challenges as well as the advances in public and private education systems. The book offers a systematic account of current social theory and methodologies, applied perspectives on the development of education in many regions of the world, and compares key themes such as access, school choice, equity, and educational performance.

Education and Social Change in Latin America is a valuable addition to the area studies literature in Comparative Education. Torres knits contributions from recognized North and South American experts to produce a comprehensive tapestry of analyses of both formal and non-formal education in Latin America. The book constitutes an excellent example of the application of a broad social science perspective to the study of education, viewed as a constituent sub-system. The foci of non-formal education (Part I), political socialisation (Part II), and the impact of social change upon education in Brazil (Part III) facilitates a broad range of comparisons. A balance between the often-contradictory perspectives-economic, anthropological, sociological and political-provides the reader with a comprehensive “snapshot” of trends and developments in Latin American education during the crucial 1980s. This inter-disciplinary examination of aspects of Latin American education has a broad range of applications, ranging from introductory courses to senior seminars to a valuable research tool. What would otherwise be an exceptional book is rendered even more valuable by Torres’ conversation with Paulo Freire. While Torres is recognized as one of the foremost authorities on Freire, this chapter explores Freire as a human being, an educator, and introduces some of the contradictions faced by a world renowned adult educator who assumed the mantle of an administrator in the formal education system in his native Brazil between 1989 and 1991.
