The chapters follow a common structure and include schematic diagrams of the structure of mainstream education from pre-primary to tertiary level. Each chapter starts with a description of the historical and social foundations of the education system from the post-World War II period up to today, including political, economic and cultural contexts and conditions. By highlighting important dates and structural decisions, the current education system can be understood as resulting from past developments. The first part ends with a description of the transitions to the labour market that are offered, and the way in which these are organized in the education system described. The second part consists of an overview of the institutional and organizational principles as well as the structure of education from pre-primary to tertiary level. It includes a focus on legislative bases and financial provisions for the education system and a description of the structure by using the ISCED-classification. It further includes information of the supply of human resources such as teachers and other educators. The third and final part of the handbook discusses selected educational trends and aspects. In this context, three topics are of particular interest: dealing with inequality, ICT and digitization activities, and STEM-related policies and programmes. 410 0$aGlobal Education Systems,$x2570-2262 606 $aInternational education 606 $aComparative education 606 $aEducation and state 606 $aEducation and state 606 $aAssessment 606 $aEducation?History 606 $aInternational and Comparative Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O13000 606 $aEducational Policy and Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O19000 606 $aAssessment, Testing and Evaluation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O33000 606 $aHistory of Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O44000 615 0$aInternational education. 615 0$aComparative education. 615 0$aEducation and state. 615 0$aEducation and state. 615 0$aAssessment. 615 0$aEducation?History. 615 14$aInternational and Comparative Education. 615 24$aEducational Policy and Politics. 615 24$aAssessment, Testing and Evaluation. 615 24$aHistory of Education. 676 $a370.116 676 $a370.9 702 $aJornitz$b Sieglinde$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aAmaral$b Marcelo Parreira do$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910416095403321 996 $aThe Education Systems of the Americas$91997634 997 $aUNINA
