An ever-increasing global society is demanding cooperation between countries through the creation of international organizations. This is a process which started to develop in the 1950s and shows unquestionable benefits nowadays. These institutions have proved to have a growing importance when it comes to defining political aspects and supranational strategies which are set in national realities. This process of creating common frameworks shared at an education level is what we call“Supranational Education:” broad -mainly political- aspects set up as a series of frameworks shared by a few countries in terms of education and training. In order to monitor this agreed process of construction of supranational policies at an education level, the Research Group on Supranational Education Policies (known by the acronym GIPES in Spanish) was established at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid in 2011. Throughout the development of several projects conducted by the GIPES, the group positively valued the possibility to offer the academic community and society a space to share freely documents and information produced by the main international organizations that collaborate in the construction of the so-called “Supranational Education.” In this way, this website intends to offer in an organized way online, free-access reports which organizations such as The European Union, The OECD, UNESCO, The OEI, etc. publish about different broad areas of research. These are precisely the ones g0ational policies in terms of education. The humble goal of this Library of Supranational Education is to make all this material accessible to anybody interested in it. |
