“…Nas Filipinas, essa variação ocorreu durante os anos 2010 em meio a um processo de reformas do sistema educacional que envolveu a descentralização e um amplo esforço de mobilização de recursos Ramesh, 2020). O pico deste investimento se dá em 2017 com a tentativa de fornecer acesso universal ao ensino superior por meio de subsídios governamentais às mensalidades de todos os estudantes filipinos em instituições públicas e subsídios parciais para estudantes em instituições privadas, além da expansão de políticas de assistência estudantil (Lomer;Lim, 2022).…”

Resumo Este artigo oferece uma análise sobre as transformações qualitativas nos Estados de bem-estar do Leste Asiático a partir dos anos 2000. Primeiro, distingo os legados institucionais à luz das tipologias formuladas na literatura: “desenvolvimentistasinclusivos” (Japão e Coreia do Sul)”; os “individualistas” (China, Hong Kong, Malásia e Singapura) e os “incipientes” (Filipinas, Indonésia, Tailândia e Vietnã). Argumento que o primeiro grupo aprofundou o processo de expansão de suas políticas sociais, sob uma abordagem universalista, mas reconfigurou a articulação entre política industrial e política social, bem como desenvolveu substantivamente as políticas de desfamiliarização. A China desloca-se do grupo “individualista” em direção a um tipo “híbrido”, ao ampliar consideravelmente a provisão pública, reproduzindo, contudo, um sistema dual e estratificado. Finalmente, os “individualistas” e os “incipientes” promoveram mudanças residuais, ampliando o papel do Estado sobre os riscos sociais por meio de políticas focalizadas em famílias de baixa renda.

“…In a country caught in a swirl at the edge of Islamic fundamentalism and Middle Eastern wars, Pakistani policymakers questioned the viability of using student loans to expand college access [97]. With forethought, one recent Pakistani study examined how personalities (e.g., extroversion) related to students' financial planning [98], an issue related to the eventual implementation of loans. Following the lead of Thailand and Korea, the Philippines developed a financial assistance strategy in 2016 to provide adequate funding expansion.…”

This paper argues that the neoliberal consensus about education finance has broken down due to growing economic inequality. First, I use a comparative historical analysis of political alliances to examine patterns of world trade and nations’ policies for economic and educational development since World War II. The United States emphasized STEM-collegiate preparation for all students, while most countries continued the dual emphasis on technical-tertiary and higher education. Educational policy in the US and Pacific region also shifted towards a reliance on markets and student loans resulting in worsening economic inequality in access. Nations with dual technical and academic pathways in secondary and postsecondary education systems expand college enrollment rates more rapidly than the US. They also experience class conflict between the working–middle class and the new technological elite. Next, I examine how education policy shifted from national planning aligned with public funding to market-based incentives for institutional development, further exposing gaps in opportunity within nations. Finally, recognizing the variations in systemic causes of inequality, I argue that governments, education agencies, and civic activists can best promote equity by organizing to address barriers to opportunity for groups left behind in the wake of withering neoliberal education policy.

“…Following the lead of Thailand and Korea, the Philippines developed a financial assistance scheme in 2016 to provide adequate funding expansion. Evaluators hope to monitor implementation to ensure "justice" prevails in the transition from free colleges (Lomer & Lim, 2021). The research on loans in South Asian nations reveals cautionary inquiry into the strengths and limits of loans.…”
