UNESCO’s influence on the conception of SINAES

This book seeks to discuss the relationship between UNESCO and the design of the National Higher Education Evaluation System (SINAES) in 2004, based on the premise that international organisations have acted as intellectual agents in defining the educational policies of member states, especially the poorest ones. The study is justified by the notoriety that higher education evaluation has achieved within research in the field of educational policy, given the government's strategy of raising educational quality via monitoring and regulation through systemic evaluation.
