Resumo
O presente trabalho é parte de um estudo comparativo mais amplo de políticas educacionais dos países-membros da União de Nações Sul- -Americanas (Unasul), um bloco de colaboração e atividades comuns. Iniciando pelo contexto histórico, social, econômico e político dos países- membros, verifica-se a importância de estudar o passado histórico, que influencia fortemente o presente e o futuro. Com isso, se desenha no continente um mosaico de similaridades e diferenças nas sociedades e na educação. Todavia, apesar das diversidades dos países, desde o período colonial aos tempos atuais, como diferenças da estrutura dos Estados, a exemplo dos unitários e federativos, constatam-se problemas educacionais comuns. Um deles é o contínuo ajustamento às cambiantes situações do mundo hoje e das suas estruturas políticas à democracia. Recomenda-se o avanço dos estudos comparados sobre a América Latina, para melhor compreender os seus problemas da sua educação e as suas perspectivas de soluções.
This paper is part of wider comparative study on the educational policies of member countries of the Union of South American Nations (Unasur in its Spanish acronym), a group of mutual cooperation and common activities. It approaches in its first part the historical, social, economic and political context of the member countries, revealing the importance of analysing their historical past, strongly influencing their present and future. Therefore, the continent is a mosaic of similarities and differences among societies and education. However, despite the diversities among these countries since colonization, as, e.g., the differences between unitary and federative states, we found common educational questions. One of them is their continuous adjustment to changing circumstances today, as well as of political structures to democracy. We recommend further advance of comparative studies on Latin America, aiming to better understanding their education problems, as well as their solution perspectives.
