A relação entre políticas educacionais e desenvolvimento econômico para o Banco Mundial: uma reflexão sobre a gestão de Robert S. McNamara (1968-1981)

Abstract

Since the 1960s, the World Bank has adopted the elimination of poverty as one of its central scopes, a process which, according to the organization, would take place through the supply of basic needs - such as the provision of education and health - to peripheral countries. In this way, the Bank became one of the main sources of financing for education, using it for the training of labor forces. In this sense, this work seeks to show which actors influence the elaboration of guidelines and which are the motivations for the application of a market logic in education, which benefits specific social groups in society, and these are not underdeveloped countries.
