SILVA, ADRIANO LARENTES DA. THE ROLE OF INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS ON EDUCATION BASED ON COMPETENCIES IN MEXICO. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2018, vol.23, e230004.  Epub Dec 05, 2017. ISSN 1809-449X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/s1413-24782018230004.

This paper analyzes the role played by international organizations such as the World Bank, the International Labour Organization, the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development in the implementation of teaching based on competencies in Mexico. The data were collected through field research conducted in Mexico, focusing on the National School of Technical Professional Education. The intention is to show how the links between governments, representatives of the capital, international organizations and educational institutions have been building an international network of training of the workforce, having as its main reference national and international standards based on competencies. In this process, institutions such as the National School of Technical Professional Education converted into true international laboratories that allow adaptation and the so-called tropicalization of these educational models to local realities, later serving also as its multiplier to other countries and educational institutions.

Keywords : competencies; international organizations; education and labor.
