Professor Sheffield tells how the OECD review of educational policies in Canada proceeded, who were involved, and what the examiners stressed in their report. He reports also on a tentative assessment of its impact, most of which is potential or not provable. Professor Noah describes the history and procedures of OECD's reviews of the national education policies of its member states - exercises in the comparative study of education, with practical benefits. Dr. Hamm-Briicher reflects in a highly personal way on her experience as a member of the examining team and her disappointment with the meagre response to the final report on the part of Canadian governments and academics. Nevertheless, she believes strongly in the kind of international co-operation represented by the OECD reviews.

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is considered one of the most important regional organizations in the Middle East and North African (MENA) region, which effectively solves some of the crises in the sub-region and the wider Middle East. GCC has employed many diplomatic procedures to address regional crises, including mediation, negotiation, and arbitration. Undoubtedly, GCC has successfully resolved some intrastate conflicts, particularly border conflicts among its member states. However, despite these achievements, the GCC has failed to resolve several regional disputes, and the continuation of such crises threatens the region’s security and stability. This article seeks to explore why the GCC institutions are ineffective in resolving some regional crises. In doing so, it addresses the comparative study by focusing on two case studies (the Iraq–Iran War and the ongoing Yemen Crisis) and provides three main results: first, the GCC has not directly intervened as an institution to resolve certain disputes; however, some GCC members have acted on its behalf and represented it. Second, despite the GCC member states’ efforts, they are still unable to resolve and settle some disputes because they prioritize self-interest over collaboration. Third, the conflict of interest of various regional actors contributes to the lack of significant progress in resolving crises.

O presente artigo objetiva apresentar as divergentes percepções existentes para a Educação Superior ao se analisar o processo de redemocratização realizado no país até os dias atuais. Para isso, discutem-se os desafios e os impasses das políticas educacionais brasileiras quanto à gestão e ao financiamento, desigualdades de acesso e permanência. Neste sentido, foi realizada uma pesquisa teórica e documental, que analisou documentos legais, tais como: a Constituição Federal, Lei das Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional e o Plano Nacional de Educação (PNE 2014-2024), em específico, uma análise da Meta 12 do PNE, que trata do Ensino Superior, bem como dos dados levantados por órgãos públicos para quantificação dos investimentos que o Brasil tem realizado em Educação. Ao trazer reflexões sobre as atuais políticas educacionais e revelar sobre quais olhares essas estão sendo desenhadas, denuncia que o caminho adotado vai em direção antagônica às necessidades da sociedade, ou melhor, em um sentido divergente de uma educação emancipadora, que versa para uma sociedade para além do capital. Conclui defendendo que o rompimento dessa lógica só será possível com a adoção de uma perspectiva educacional diferente, uma educação que transforme o trabalhador em um agente político que pensa, age e usa a palavra como arma para transformar o mundo. Palavras-chave: Capital. Educação Emancipadora. Políticas Educacionais. AbstractThis article aims to present the divergent perceptions that exist for Higher Education when analyzing the redemocratization process carried out in the country up to the present day. For this, it discusses the challenges and impasses of Brazilian educational policies regarding management and financing, inequalities of access and permanence. In this sense, a theoretical and documentary research was carried out, which analyzed legal documents, such as the Federal Constitution, the Law of Directives and Bases of National Education and the National Education Plan (PNE 2014-2024), in specific analysis, an analysis of the PNE Target 12 that deals with Higher Education, as well as data collected by public agencies to quantify the investments that Brazil has made in Education. By bringing reflections on current educational policies and revealing what looks are being drawn, it denounces that the path adopted goes in antagonistic direction to the needs of the society, or rather, in a divergent sense of an emancipatory education that is for a society beyond of capital. It concludes by arguing that breaking this logic will only be possible by adopting a different educational perspective, an education that turns the worker into a political agent who thinks, acts and uses the word as a weapon to transform the world. Keywords: Capital. Emancipating Education. Educational Policies.
