Abstract
Since World War II world discourse and organization focused on educational policy have greatly expanded. Globally institutionalized models of society have been elaborated and have gained much influence over national societies. These models increasingly focus on education as central to the accomplishment of the legitimated goals of socioeconomic progress and justice or equality. Thus, there are many more organizations, both governmental and nongovernmental, addressing educational policy and the relevant professions have expanded at the international level. The resultant discourse produces an evolving and rather consensual model, which emphasizes an expanded, progressive, and internationalized educational system.
