Education policy in Ecuador Introduction Education policy is a common policy for any society or country. Since the ancient times, societies have been developing efficient systems of transmitting knowledge from generation to generation (Johnson, 2017). As Jameson (1999) stipulates, the earliest roles of education were transmission of cultural values from one generation to another and inculcation of social expectations in the people. During these early times, education was done informally by old members of the society. In the present day, there have been vast changes on the roles of education which have called for adoption of more sophisticated approaches of delivering education (Post, 2011). Every society in the present day is supposed to determine the goals of education then come up with the most efficient and effective approaches of achieving them. A culmination of these goals and approaches of achieving them as well as techniques of evaluating achievement is what is referred to as education policy. In this paper, we are interested in analysing education policy in Ecuador. After analysing this policy, we shall also make a comparison between education policy in Ecuador and that of US. This comparison will be aimed at pointing out any similarities and differences between the two countries as far as education is concerned.
