"Portal about the educational"
Nueva Alejandría is a portal about the educational system prevailing in the Latin America and the Caribbean region and the institutions situated in these regions are tirelessly working for competitive improvements to globalize their universities and educational institutions. The history of education in the region has been poor as compared to the developed world. Until 1980’s the educational methods were highly traditional and inefficient. A couple of traditional schools and universities were not adequate to compete with the rest of the world and there was a great scope for educational reforms in the region that could meet the needs and aspirations of students, teachers, and parents as well.
Why To Study In Latin America?
Countries like Chile, Argentina, and Mexico have initiated educational reforms since early 1980’s and the work is still on the path of improvement. Introduction of a multi-layered education system, advanced curriculum, legislative reforms, increased role of public-private interplay, smart approach, research-based learning, teacher training and most importantly funding to achieve the educational goals. There are numerous challenges in the region such as greater inequality in access to education, regional variations and income disparities that result in more number of dropouts. The governments have attempted to reduce dropout ratio with the help of various efforts. These include compulsory education at basic levels, financing institutions, scholarship programs, student-exchange programs, increasing cross-cultural contacts and bilateral treaties with the rest of the world to foster the educational efficiency and productivity.

Undoubtedly the Latin region has made significant progress in the last two decades and the contribution of the stakeholders is absolutely remarkable and deserves appreciation. One of the biggest challenges of this region was to improve to such a height that the world could see the Latin American countries as “America” because the North America (The US) is the most developed nation in the world in all terms. To match the expectation of the modern education system was a difficult task but they make it possible with their continuous effort and long-term determination. Now the time has come that not only the students of the region are pursuing a quality education at their school levels and higher education at university levels but also the foreign students are also coming to study in Mexico, Brazil, Chile, and Argentina.
