| Sumario: | This article compares how discourses on education reform have been articulated in two nations located in the Global South, Argentina and South Africa, in the last three decades, from the perspective of Comparative and International Education. Following previous research, the main narratives that frame the discourses on educational reform in this academic field and in public discourse are taken as a reference, although the article aims at showing that the processes that have occurred in each national case present selections and reformulations of these great narratives according to their own sociohistorical dynamics. For this reason, we include a brief social and historical account of both countries —with emphasis on their educational reality— which serves as a background for an exploration and discussion of the discourses on educational reform. The methodological procedure followed in this research consisted, first, in a bibliographical review, giving an account of key academic texts and policy documents in the selected period in both countries. Secondly, the comparison between Argentina and South Africa was made following the comparative approach developed by Schriewer (2019), that is, looking for convergences and divergences between the cases on the assumption of complex causality and the reductionism of the universalizing "big theories". |
