Abstract

The World Bank (WB) is a key agent in the field of the international educational development. It is one of the main funders of education at international level and at the same time it is one of the organisms with more power for setting the educational priorities in a global scale. In spite of the large influence it has nowadays in the educational file, it was created with objectives and roles not related at all to education. In this context, the objective of the article is to analyse the WB's evolution from its creation until nowadays, exploring its role and its proposals in the educational field during more than forty years. The article analyses those stages and documents most significant in the history of the WB for understanding its current role in the educational sector, the content of its proposals in the sector and the process by which it placed itself as the hegemonic organism in the field of education.
