| Sumario: | Ben Ross Schneider examines education policy throughout Latin America to show that reforms to improve learning - especially making teacher careers more meritocratic and less political - are possible. He contends that the first bottom-up route to reform is electoral. The second route was more top-down and technocratic, with little support from electorates or civil society. By framing education policy in a much broader comparative perspective, Schneider demonstrates that contrary to much established theory, reform outcomes in Latin America depended less on institutions and broad coalitions, but rather - due to the emptiness of the education policy space - on more micro factors like civil society organizations, teacher unions, policy networks, and technocrats. |
