Our Research Director and Senior Researcher, María Balarin, joined a South-North dialogue on contemporary education policy in Latin America, organized by the Institute of Latin American Studies (ILAS) at Columbia University.
María presented evidence on educational markets in socioeconomic and educational segregation. She recently (together with Aurora Escudero) published a study on the trends of school segregation by socioeconomic level in Peru [Download GRADE’s Research Paper 101].
The event brought together renowned specialists in Latin America to engage in cross-regional discussions on contemporary trends in several national school systems of the region. Scholars and practitioners coming from Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Cuba, Mexico, Peru, and the United States reviewed particular country contexts in light of global educational trends to examine how South-North dialogue can be an enriching process for policymaking and practice.
