Description and Table of Contents
Description
Both financial and political factors impede the positive role of education in social and economic development in Latin America. This book argues that the inefficient operation of its education system constitutes one reason why Latin America is increasingly marginal on the world scene. It also reveals that fashionable current solutions focus on privatization and that some countries do, in fact, show signs of recovering.
