Pineau, Pablo – History of Education, 2008
This paper examines the historical relationship between education and globalisation in Latin America. This is no straightforward task.

In recent decades, however, it has become fashionable to decry…

The richest nation of the world, the United States still struggles to graduate 50% of its Latina/o high school students.
