The Impact of the MDGs in the Decision Making Process regarding Development Oriented Policies for Education: The case of Nicaragua

[摘要] Education is the subject promoted by the second Millennium Development Goal (MDG) and it is acknowledged as an important element for social, economic and political development. It is closely connected a nation’s positive welfare, to more knowledgeable people and to low poverty, which is why Education poses as one of the greatest social policy instruments at the disposal of governments. With the closure of the MDGs time lapse and with the introduction of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) the time to reap the fruits that the governments have harvested through national policies and programs that were oriented to achieve this goal has come. In this paper, Nicaragua’s Strategic Plan for Education 2011-2015 implemented by the Nicaraguan government, will be analyzed and the results will be studied under the premises provided by the MDGs. This research is oriented to revise the analysis between human capital and education and how the Nicaraguan government has responded to the demands for education.
