Global Plans for Education Clash with Local Aspirations Year 12, No.19, October 2022 In mid-2019, the Organization for Economic and Co-operative Development (OECD) unveiled its “learning compass.” Described as a “framework that aims to help students navigate towards future well-being,” the Learning Compass outlined the OECD’s goals for global education over the next decade.

PUBLIC EDUCATION: A SOCIAL RIGHT FACES THE OBSESSION WITH TESTING INTRODUCTION We are going through a time in which standardization is intensifying on a global scale.
