Local responses to educational reforms: the cases of Chicago, Chile, and Egypt – Amal Elassi & Manuel Perez Troncoso

There is a clear interrelationship between current educational reforms and global economic movements in different parts of the world. Educational reforms are driven by increasing demand for meeting the global market’s competitive standards. However, these reforms are directed to achieve a set of global targets that would have different results in various local settings. These generalized global skills are measured through standardized tools such as standard testing based on the outdated notion of “one size fits all.” Therefore, we propose a series of events in which we explore global intersections in a number of educational systems that are currently going through these reforms and formulating local responses to these reforms.

In collaboration with CLACS
