Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper provides empirical evidence on the most commonly used argument for diversifying the secondary school curriculum in developing countries, i.e., the hope that it would provide a closer fit between education and the world of work. A follow-up study of Colombian secondary school graduates of diversified and non-diversified (control) schools, one to three years after graduation, does not provide any support to the expected external positive efficiency effects of such curriculum innovation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International organizations have consistently influenced education reforms in Latin America, but not all countries have adopted the same policy recommendations. This book offers a unique comparative analysis of secondary education reforms in Chile, Argentina, and Colombia, from the 1960s to the 2010s, with a focus on three key areas: manpower planning, state-retrenchment (market-based versus active-state), and ideas about having a right to a quality education in an era of government accountability. While responding to similar policy recommendations, these countries have differed in how they have implemented decentralization, incorporated private actors, allocated authority over curriculum, and established instruments of accountability. Claudia Diaz-Rios traces the legacies of previous education policies and local struggles among stakeholders in reshaping—and sometimes rejecting—foreign recommendations. Translating Global Idea will be an invaluable resource for scholars of comparative politics and the globalization of education—particularly those interested in policy development in middle- and low-income countries, as well as practitioners invested in promoting education policy changes in Latin America.

Download or read book Curriculum Diversification Cognitive Achievement and Economic Performance written by George Psacharopoulos and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last decade many developing countries have "diversified" their curricula at the secondary school level by introducing prevocational subjects alongside the traditional academic ones. The most often stated rationale for such education reform is to widen students' choice of future careers and thus make the school system more relevant to the world of work. But in spite of the popularity of such educational innovation, no comprehensive studies or empirical evaluations have been made of the effects of curriculum diversification on national development. This study consequently reports the results of an evaluation of diversified secondary school systems in Colombia and Tanzania. The results indicate that relative to the schools offering only conventional curricula, the diversified schools recruit more students from poorer origins and they impart higher cognitive skills to their graduates. However, graduates of such schools often cost more to educate than those of control schools and despite their superior cognitive skills they do not find jobs more easily and do not earn more than the graduates of control schools.
