The governance of education: socio-political analysis of education in Uruguay

This work intends to advance in the theoretical and epistemological determination of the sociopolitical conditions that affects formal education, as well as on the specific effects that the ways to handle them generate on society, on the formal education systems in contemporary societies and particularly in Uruguay. Therefore the expositive strategy advances firstly from the consideration of the analytical categories that articulate these debates, to analize secondly the debates in which those categories are specified. Finally it will try to analize and describe Uruguayan reality, trying to show the main causal orders as well as the most probable scenes that, based on them, will take place in the short and medium term.
