Merely waxing lyrical about the benefits of education will do nothing to help Latin American and Caribbean countries catch up with developed countries. Instead, governments and international organizations should support education policies that have been shown to be effective, encourage research and evaluation of other types of education policies and programs, and back non-education policies and programs that improve the quality of life in developing countries.
仅仅对教育的利益唱赞歌丝毫无助于帮助拉丁美洲和加勒比国家赶上发达国家。政府和国际组织应该做的是支持被显示有效的教育政策，鼓励研究和评估其他类型的教育政策和计划，以及支持提高发展中国家生活质量的非教育政策和计划。
