Abstract

This paper presents the results of a study that investigated technical and professional educational policies in both Brazil and Mexico, and the relations of these two countries with international networks of educational organizations. The focus is on the three international organizations that have had the most influence on public education policies in both Brazil and Mexico: UNEVOC, CINTERFOR/ILO, and REDUCA. Official documents, academic articles, and information available at the websites of the organizations were analyzed. The results indicate that the main objective of these networks has been the search for consensus around educational perspectives aimed at implementing models of technical and vocational professional education that meet the interests of entrepreneurs and the labor market. The results also indicate that the network activity of international organizations has contributed to consolidate educational standards, experiences and very pragmatic and restrictive instruments that directly impact the school realities of countries such as Mexico and Brazil.

拉丁美洲国际组织与技术和专业教育网络:巴西和墨西哥的比较分析

本文介绍了一项研究的结果，调查了巴西和墨西哥的技术和专业教育政策，以及这两个国家与国际教育组织网络的关系。重点是对巴西和墨西哥的公共教育政策影响最大的三个国际组织:联合国教科文组织、国际青年组织/劳工组织和联合国儿童基金会。对官方文件、学术文章和各组织网站上的信息进行了分析。结果表明，这些网络的主要目标是围绕教育观点寻求共识，旨在实施符合企业家和劳动力市场利益的技术和职业专业教育模式。结果还表明，国际组织的网络活动有助于巩固教育标准、经验和非常务实和限制性的文书，这些文书直接影响到墨西哥和巴西等国的学校现实。
