Abstract

This article analyzes the links between education and development from the perspective of major international organizations in the worldwide education sector: the World Bank, the OECD and UNESCO. After presenting the context of our research that focalizes on the major characteristics of the three organizations and the methodology, we will focus on these institution’s perception of the conception of development. Next, we will highlight the implications of these development visions for education systems. In conclusion, while analyzing the recent evolutions in the discourses of international organizations, we will discuss the need to go beyond a narrow vision of development and therefore of education.
