The Role of the State in Education.
Tedesco, Juan Carlos
Prospects, v19 n4 p455-76 1989
Considers the problematic nature of the role of the state in developing nations' education, specifically Latin American education. Analyzes several major challenges: (1) reconciling bureaucratic efficiency with educational equity; (2) allocating dwindling resources to ensure both basic adult education and higher education capable of producing knowledge and expertise for technological advance; and (3) reducing elitism and fostering democratization.
