Politics of Professionalization of Teaching: Contemporanean Development and Variations of Uses

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Education Policies and the Restructuring of the Educational Profession

Part of the book series: Perspectives on Rethinking and Reforming Education ((PRRE))

Abstract

During the last decades, educational systems have developed in the context of an increasing integration of the educational questions in world economic and political stakes. This process had for consequence a bigger dependence of the national politics on these supranational stakes, reducing the margins of initiative of the national states or undertaking them at least to integrate into the educational politics a mainstream supranational rationality, carried and spread by authorities which have on the subject a decisive influence (OECD, World Bank, UNESCO, etc.). From then on, the traditional mission of the education systems of reproduction of a national culture and a working strength has more sense than in a globalized prospect (Canário 2007).
