Finger, Leslie; Gindin, Julián – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2015
Latin American teachers' unions have stepped into the policymaking sphere and shaped education policies unrelated to regular workplace priorities like salaries and class sizes at notable moments.

Tarabini, Aina; Bonal, Xavier; Valiente, Oscar – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2014

Nevertheless, schools' responses to poverty are far from uniform. Although the context of poverty generally determines what is possible…

Active participation of Brazilian civil society, coupled with the 2007 education development plan launched by the Brazilian government, provides an interesting example of the influences of the Dakar Goals.

Abadzi, Helen – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2007
Studies have shown that the amount of time students spend engaged in learning tasks is related to learning outcomes. However, schools often offer to the students only a fraction of the time that governments pay for, and schools in lower-income areas often offer less time than governments plan for students. Instructional time ought to be an…

This article intends to show that contemporary proposals for early child-care and education (ECCE), typical of the modern process of neo-liberal policies, have been familiar to developing countries since the 1960s. Their heralds continue to announce the same news; they have just changed their clothes. These heralds are the international…
