Is Public Education Viable? A brief critical review of neoliberalism in educati...

As well as in other social domains, neoliberalism has been invading education. This trend is leading to a general commodification and to the progressive substitution of some basic values, as the equality of opportunities, by efficiency and competitiveness.

Time to Complete a Pos-graduation: some evidence of "school effect" upon ISCED ...

Most Portuguese higher education institutions are increasingly compelled to observe rather strict arrangements in what concerns time to achieve post-graduation studies.
