BRAVO JAUREGUI, Luis. Some useful references for understanding the projection of national education to the continent and the world. Investigación y Postgrado [online]. 2008, vol.23, n.2, pp.463-513. ISSN 1316-0087.

This paper studies how national education was projected to the continent during the years of 1999-2003; through the analysis of a chronology derived of the data base of Venezuelan Educational Memory Project; where the most important events associated with the internationalization of Venezuelan pedagogy are put in order, because of an international campaign for the eradication of the illiteracy in Bolivia. The educational country recognizable in the years of 1999-2003 does not seem to be in the best institutional conditions to export a supposed miracle. However, the international topic appears stronger that in other periods studied, and the educational missions, mainly the Robinson I, are consolidated as the most genuine expression of the national educational activity.
