Reseña

Over the last decade, the education sector in Latin America has continued to follow the trend towards greater privatisation. Far from evidencing a radical transformation, the last decade has witnessed an intensification of the privatisation processes initiated decades ago and exhaustively documented in educational research (e.g., Verger et al., 2017; Gentili et al., 2009; Adrião & Pinto, 2016). Even so, the past decade
has seen the introduction of significant novelties. On the one hand, there has been remarkable diversification in the policies and processes of privatisation, reflecting evolution in the strategies and approaches adopted by its proponents. At the same time, various forms of resistance to privatisation have emerged, mainly led by civil society organisations of various kinds. These developments underscore the existence of a complex, multifaceted panorama in the evolution of education in the region, with significant repercussions on aspects such as educational equity and quality. Drawing on the systematic review of the relevant literature, this report examines the multiple dimensions and consequences of these changes between 2013 and 2023, seeking to
offer a comprehensive outlook on the evolution of the current challenges facing the education sector in Latin America.
