Depuis le début de la récession vers la fin des années 1970, les systèmes d’éducation publics dans le monde capitaliste industrialisé font l’objet de plus en plus de critiques et de pressions en vue de réformes. Les “réformes” de l’éducation ne se sont pas limitées à des mesures fiscales, mais ont compris, entre autres, des innovations dans la gestion, les programmes et les méthodes d’évaluation. Les rapports de force entre le pouvoir local et le pouvoir centralisé ainsi qu’entre les établissements publics et privés sont également en mutation. L’économie de l’Alberta, stimulée par ses richesses pétrolières, nous fournit l’occasion de voir l’orientation que prend actuellement la restructuration de l’éducation au Canada et ailleurs. Durant les années 1980, le gouvernement de l’Alberta a cherché non seulement à se doter d’un système d’éducation public plus efficace, mais à réorienter et à structurer systématiquement l’éducation pour qu’elle réponde aux besoins nouveaux d’une économie prospère.
