摘要：During the 90s, the governments of the three Latin American Southern Cone
countries defined and implemented fundamental transformations in their education
systems entailing core aspects such as management modalities, improvements in
equity and quality and changes in financing mechanisms, which were categorized
as education reforms. The governments of Argentina, Chile and Uruguay have
recently promoted extensive reviews of such reforms, involving in the
discussions, in different formats, multiple political and social stakeholders.
As a result of those debates there are already new education laws (Argentina),
recommendations for a future bill to be introduced into parliament in the
current year (Uruguay) and a bil introduced into Congress (Chile). This paper
examines, from a comparative perspective, the significance an scope of these
novelties.
