REMOLINA-CAVIEDES, Juan Francisco. Criticism of the External Evaluation Policies of Colombia and Brazil. Folios [online]. 2019, n.50, pp.173-188. ISSN 0123-4870.  https://doi.org/10.17227/folios.50-10228.

This article critically analyzes the external evaluation policies implemented in Colombia and Brazil, in the context of capitalist society. Official and legal documents were analyzed, and the chosen perspective was the Comparative Historical Studies within the theoretical-methodological matrix of Historical-Dialectical Materialism. Research results showed that international organizations at the service of capital exert influence on the evaluation policies of both countries through the ideologies of merit and management. As a conclusion it is possible to affirm that in both school systems the policies of external evaluation are compromising the principles of public education by incorporating marketing rationality through competition and management, masking social contradictions and perpetuating the serious individual and group differences derived from poverty and oppression, which are a consequence of the current model of production and consumption.

Palabras clave : educational policy; quality of education; educational indicators; teacher responsibility.
