DOWNLOAD EBOOKSociety, Schools, and Progress in Peru presents a descriptive analysis of the Peruvian educational system, with particular emphasis on socio-cultural changes that have transpired. The publication first elaborates on cultural and educational traditions, emergence of public schooling, and the social, economic, and political context of education. Concerns cover political organization, economic setting, educational consequences of socio-cultural stratification, social organization, race and culture, US education missions, Indian and Spanish heritage, and colonial and Republican education. The text then takes a look at educational objectives and administration, formal school programs, nonformal education, and preparation of teachers. Topics include teacher supply and demand, teacher-preparation programs, reform efforts, education in the military, education and industry, first-level educational programs, and administrative organization. The text ponders on education, revolution, and nation-building, higher education, and teacher professionalization programs. The book is a valuable source of data for historians and educators interested in the development of the educational system in Peru.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis open access book offers a comparative study of eight ambitious national reforms that sought to create opportunities for students to gain the necessary breath of skills to thrive in a rapidly changing world. It examines how national governments transform education systems to provide students opportunities to develop such skills. It analyses comprehensive education reforms in Brazil, Finland, Japan, Mexico, Peru, Poland, Portugal and Russia and yields original and important insights on the process of educational change. The analysis of these 21st century skills reforms shows that reformers followed approaches which are based on the five perspectives: cultural, psychological, professional, institutional and political. Most reforms relied on institutional and political perspectives. They highlight the systemic nature of the process of educational change, and the need for alignment and coherence among the various elements of the system in order. They underscore the importance of addressing the interests of various stakeholders of the education system in obtaining the necessary impetus to initiate and sustain change. In contrast, as the book shows, the use of a cultural and psychological frame proved rarer, missing important opportunities to draw on systematic analysis of emerging demands for schools and on cognitive science to inform the changes in the organization of instruction. Drawing on a rich array of sources and evidence the book provides a careful account of how education reform works in practice.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAs public schools in Peru consistently rank in the bottom in numerous international and national education assessments, private school enrollments have begun to spike. Private schools are filled with students from the elite and upper middle classes, leaving public schools predominantly comprised of middle to lower classes since the parents are unable to afford a private school tuition. It is this growing division that has been labeled an 'educational apartheid' within the educational system in Peru. This thesis sets out to explore this apartheid at the local level in Lima, Peru. The intent of this project was to conduct ethnographic research on a public and a private primary school to investigate any perceived differences that may support the existence of educational inequalities that contribute to an educational apartheid. When looking at the Peruvian school system as a whole, the educational apartheid is occurring, especially including the larger and more costly private schools; however, when investigating smaller communities, private schools are seen as a path for social mobility, even if these expectations may be false. The case studies revealed that both public and private schools had positive and negative practices; therefore blurring the assumption that private is always better. In order to confront this educational apartheid, this thesis provides educational policy recommendations that call for attention on policies that are inclusive of all actors (teachers, students, parents) within the educational system, as well as systematic and methodical implementation to insure the success of future educational reforms in Peru.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn 1970 the Commission for Educational Reform, established by Peru's revolutionary government, published its General Report giving a detailed analysis of the old system's shortcomings, a statement of the philosophical principles which should guide any alternative system, and a description of the form which such an alternative pattern might take. The 1972 General Education Law instituted a new education system, "fundamentally humanist in inspiration and genuinely democratic in vocation". Underlying the new system was the concept of lifelong education. In particularly underprivileged rural areas, special programs were provided to offset the adverse effects of socioeconomic, cultural, and nutritional deprivation during the early stages of a child's development. The "Nucleos Educativos Communales" (NEC), the key element in the reform, incorporated all the educational services of the community and furnished the machinery by which the community could take its legitimate place in the educational process. Focusing on the NEC system, this publication examines the theory and practice of this educational reform and its relationships to other reforms. Discussed are the reform's philosophy and aims; innovative structures and reorientation; decentralization; the nuclear experiments; objectives and organizational structure; teaching staff; problems and solutions; and the educational centres at Villa el Salvador, Iscuchaca, and Imacita.
