DUCOING WATTY, Patricia  e  ROJAS MORENO, Ileana. Secondary Education in the Latin American Context: Considerations Based on the Link between Educational Policy and the Curriculum. RMIE [online]. 2017, vol.22, n.72, pp.32-56. ISSN 1405-6666.

The objective of this article is to characterize some of the elements of Latin America’s secondary education in the framework of specific national policies. In light of the diversity of political systems and regional styles of government, the selected nations were Bolivia, Colombia, Mexico, and Venezuela, whose common characteristic is the heterogeneity of their strategies in matters of general policy. Based on an institutional research study of a comparative nature, the articulating axis was defined as the category of the curriculum of secondary education and its link with national and global educational policies. The use of this methodological approximation emphasizes the interplay of tendencies by promoting an assumed unification of basic education in Latin America. The concluding argument is that this educational level is constituted as a single, unique object in the region.
