Competitividad global y educación. Una mirada al caso de El Salvador

Abstract

In the following pages an analysis is made of two of the main indicators used internationally to measure the performance of economies and their comparability among different countries, these being the Global Competitiveness Index (GCI) that is sponsored by the Economic World Forum and Doing Business, promoted by the World Bank Group. The analysis is based on the review -mainly- on the reports generated by both institutions in the last three measured periods, including the examination of data at the global level, in the Latin American region and at the national level (El Salvador case). A qualitative analysis of the correlation between the findings of both indicators and the results in education is included. Finally, some reflections are proposed, as well as recommendations for improvement in the sectors analyzed mainly from public policies on education.
