- Summary:
- Latin America has tremendous diversity geographically, politically, and demographically. Some countries such as Argentina, Brazil, and Chile, enjoy a time of peace and growing prosperity, while other countries such as Bolivia and Columbia are struggling with government and economic issues. This volume examines the history and present state of educational systems, both public and private, of approximately 15 countries in the Latin American region, along with a "day in the life" feature that shows what the school day is like from the students' point of view. *Argentina *Bolivia *Brazil *Chile *Columbia *Costa Rica *El Salvador *Mexico *Nicaragua *Paraguay *Peru *Uruguay
