Description
Summary:This chapter describes how new philanthropy and global networks are starting to influence Argentina’s education policy. Since a new administration took office in 2015, a significant political shift has welcomed new political actors in Argentina. In a traditional education policy context of non-pro-market conditions, these recent political changes have encouraged the incipient growth of new philanthropy. This chapter focuses on these new developments by analysing how the Varkey Foundation (VF), an internationally renowned example of new philanthropy, managed to ‘land’ in this country between 2016 and 2017.
