新自由主義不僅僅被應用在經濟上亦被運用於政治及教育領域。自從1960年代起,美國及歐洲部分國家開始採行不同的方式,以改革大學教育,使其走向普及化之教育政策,並引入市場機制,讓競爭成為學術進步的主要因素。 80年代,英國柴契爾夫人及美國雷根總統,兩國政府均受新自由主義之影響。在阿根廷,梅能(Carlos S. Menem)總統主政時期(1989~1999) ,因受世界銀行干預,亦採行新自由主義,並於1993年通過聯邦教育法及其他相關教育法規。 因之,於此10年間阿根廷高等教育產生重大變革。本文即在於新自由主義理念下,研究阿國大學教育之轉變及影響,並且分析該國高等教育現存之問題及所有可行之解決方式。
