Policies for Higher Education in Latin America: The Context.

Schwartzman, Simon

Higher Education, v25 n1 p9-20 Jan 1993

Discussion of the evolution of Latin American higher education policy focuses on historic and social factors. It is concluded that policies often fail because they shift control to one of three poles (government, academic oligarchy, or market) to the exclusion of the others or favor the wrong sector within each pole.
