Vol. 55 No. 2 (2025)

This issue of the Latin American Journal of Educational Studies, whose core section is titled "Evaluation of Educational Policies in Mexico and Latin America: Approaches, Methodologies, and Results," coordinated by Dr. Arcelia Martínez Bordón, is published at a key moment for rethinking the role of evaluation as a critical mediation between policy intentions and their results. In this sense, this issue presents some experiences that advocate for different forms of evaluation: a proposal for citizen monitoring and evaluation of educational policy, a participatory evaluation of a public program, or a critical reading of the curriculum. These contributions reflect the diversity of approaches, methodologies, and findings that currently enrich the field of educational policy evaluation.
