Abstract

This article looks at the phrase "quality education" in a number of documents on education policy at the end of the twentieth century. It does so from the standpoint of analyzing the discourse on this point and to clarify the political and social meaning of education. The author argues the concept of "quality education" is a privileged point of reflection and one that combines all the ideas we want the properties of education to reflect. This study considers the pattern of the discourse on the quality of education as a precarious and relative way to assign meaning that is linked directly to the social order.
