Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis explores views on the teaching profession among teachers working in primary public schools in Peru. It argues that teachers are key agents of education systems and that the way they perceive their own work is a fundamental element in the understanding of their practices and the extent to which these are oriented towards guaranteeing children's right to education. This research combines secondary national data with interviews and focus group sessions conducted in the capital city and in an Andean highland province. Both sets of evidence were used to link teachers' biographies and Peruvian history in order to identify key elements in teachers' views on their professional activity exploring how they are connected to overarching social processes. The main findings point to the identification of a dual speech: (i) a public one focusing on the vindication of rights and characterised by a critical stance towards governmental policies; and (ii) individually framed narratives more attached to personal/family stories and mixed views of teachers themselves vis-a-vis governmental initiatives. This research also sheds light on the deep connection between teachers' social background and recent social transformations in Peru. In fact, teacher recruitment, seemingly motivated by concerns external to the education agenda, has resulted in a rather homogeneous workforce in terms of their socio-economic background. Teachers' views on their profession appear mostly rooted in: (i) social mobility expectations, (ii) the role of the State in the creation of work posts and in defining what is expected of teachers; and (iii) a general set of representations about Peruvian social conditions developed against a backdrop of three decades of economic stagnation and deep social transformations. Advancing an understanding of these intertwined elements represents the main contribution of this thesis in relation to: (i) the generation of new knowledge and informing future research, (ii) the advancement of my future professional activities, (iii) feeding into the debates on what is required form the Peruvian education system to better perform as to guarantee the human right to education.

Second, once quality can be measured, a clear system of accountability should be implemented based on these standards and quality goals. The clients will play a central role in these systems by demanding their rights to quality services; this will only become possible once there are standards and goals that clarify clients' rights. Third, once there are standards and systems of accountability, investment is needed to strengthen the institutional capacity of the providers.

Download or read book Public Instruction in Peru Classic Reprint written by Albert Anthony Giesecke and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-12-23 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Public Instruction in Peru The teachers in the primary schools are women in the majority of cases. Although supposed to have a diploma, the majority of teachers are not so provided.12 Thus, out of teachers, men, women, two-thirds did not possess a diploma. At present there are three normal schools - one for men and two for women. Two are located in Lima, and a comparatively smaller one for women in Arequipa. Previously there were more, but financial and other difficulties have caused the closing of the others. The act of Congress (march, 1901) provided at least three normal schools for men, and three for women. In the normal school for men the curriculum provides three years of study, which differs somewhat from that provided for the women's normal school. In the normal school for women in Lima the course of studies is as follows: First year: Spanish grammar and literature, penmanship arithmetic, geography, history, religion, object lessons, domestic economy and hygiene, manual training, French or English, vocal music, physical exercises, attendance upon model classes in the School of Practice. Second year: general notions and anthropology and infant psychology, pedagogy, history, general hygiene, domes tic economy, religion, elocution and composition, manual training. French or English, music, physical exercises, attendance upon model classes in the School of Practice. Third year: Methodology, notions of the history of education, school hygiene, domestic economy, civic education and school legislation, manual training, French or English.

Download or read book Methodist Education in Peru written by Rosa del Carmen Bruno-Jofré and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With research based on extensive primary sources, the author examines the activities of the Methodist mission in Peru, in particular its educational work, within the Peruvian socioeconomic formation and its ideological and intellectual changes. Yet her study goes beyond Methodist boundaries: Social Gospel doctrine and educational theory, which link American Progressivism (especially John Dewey’s pedagogical ideas) with Christianity, are also treated at an interdenominational level. The book contends that Methodist schools constituted an educational system of their own within a socioeconomic formation of uneven character, a society where an imperialist presence was interwoven with pre-capitalist as well as local incipient capitalist forms. The author’s analysis of the political dimension of missionary work—from the quest for religious freedom to the attempt to exert influence on social movements—leads her to consider the relationships among APRA leaders, the missionaries, and the interdenominational Committee on Cooperation in Latin America. Bruno-Jofré argues that Social Gospel doctrines, although couched in reformist language, were ultimately a vehicle of North American theology. This book presents a refreshingly wide perspective on the development of education in the Third World as affected by missionary bodies from the First World.

Download or read book An Opportunity for a Different Peru written by Marcelo Giugale and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2007 with total page 860 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time in the republican history of Peru, the presidential transition takes place in democracy, social peace, fast economic growth and favorable world markets. In other words, there has never been a better chance to build a different Peru - a richer country, more equal and governable. There are multiple ways to achieve that goal. New reforms must stem from a widespread and participatory debate, one of a common vision conceived for and by Peruvians. This book aims at making a technical and independent contribution to such debate; it summarizes the knowledge available about the challenges to be faced by the new administration. The study does not recommend silver bullets, but suggests policy options. It is based on the analysis of the current reality and in six decades of relationships with Peru, in which the Bank has implemented more than 100 projects and prepared more than 500 technical reports covering the wide range of development topics. When necessary, the study provides lessons that the Bank has learned elsewhere. The study provides a conceptual framework to the analysis of the country's 34 economic sectors and the two historical perspectives behind them. In doing so, it offers a comprehensive reform agenda that sheds light on possible priorities and courses of action.
Download or read book Global Corruption Report Education written by Transparency International and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corruption and poor governance are acknowledged as major impediments to realizing the right to education and to reaching the Millennium Development Goal of universal primary education by 2015. Corruption not only distorts access to education, but affects the quality of education and the reliability of research findings. From corruption in the procurement of school resources and nepotism in the hiring of teachers, to the buying and selling of academic titles and the skewing of research results, major corruption risks can be identified at every level of the education and research systems. Conversely, education serves as a means to strengthen personal integrity and is a critical tool to address corruption effectively. The Global Corruption Report (GCR) is Transparency International’s flagship publication, bringing the expertise of the anti-corruption movement to bear on a specific corruption issue or sector. The Global Corruption Report on education consists of more than 70 articles commissioned from experts in the fields of corruption and education, from universities, think-tanks, business, civil society and international organisations. The Global Corruption Report on education and academic research will provide essential analysis for understanding the corruption risks in the sector and highlight the significant work that has already been done in the field to improve governance and educational outcomes. This will be an opportunity to pull together cutting edge knowledge on lessons learnt, innovative tools and solutions that exist in order to fight corruption in the education sector.
Download or read book Mobile Teachers Teacher Identity and International Schooling written by Ruth Arber and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-01-19 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Mobile Teachers, Teacher Identity and International Schooling focuses on the increased mobility of teachers and curriculum and what it means for the expansion of international schooling. In the early 21st century, educational institutions have been transformed by technological innovation and global interconnectivity. The demographic, ideological, economic and cultural flows that integrate local and global interconnections have consequences for the ways in which educational policy, theories and practice can be understood and take place locally. The everyday lives of practitioners, parents and students; the institutions in which they are educated and work; and the sociocultural and ideological contexts in which they work, are all consequently changing. The manifestation of these changes – as evident in the work and lives of teachers within specific cultural contexts and education systems; in their implications for educational theory and methodology; and their consequences for policy, programs, practice and research in education – are the focus of this book. This book explores the mobility of curriculum, pedagogies, ideas and people that represent and mediate the impact of Global uneven flows and movements through, in, and for school education, and the concepts and practices which frame that transformation. The particular focus of the book is on how these flows inform the ways individuals negotiate their identities, cultures and languages in different national and educational contexts. Education systems and the educational experiences offered by schools are being reconfigured due to multiple pressures. What do these moves to mobilise and to work transnationally mean in terms of educational provision, possibilities and practice?"
