Disputes over de meaning of public education: the financing of privately managed public education in Uruguay
Abstract
The article discusses the forms of funding for “public education of private management” in Uruguay. A state tax waiver modality that promotes donations by private companies is discussed. Donors and donatarians are characterized as an attempt to investigate the promotion of educational privatization processes. This work is part of critical studies on educational privatization under development in Latin America. It opts for a theoretical perspective aimed at looking at the role of the State in these processes. Methodologically, secondary data are used and information is systematized from websites of educational institutions and companies.
