ABSTRACT: This article adds to the existing research on Nicaragua’s education system by analyzing the country’s education policies and comparing key economic indicators with those of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, El Salvador, Uruguay, and Venezuela. It is one of the few studies that examine Nicaragua’s educational policies in relation to these nations, making it valuable for economists, educators, and policymakers focused on Nicaragua’s economic growth. The empirical data and supporting literature cited in this study can be found in (Osiobe, 2019; 2020a; 2020b; 2020c). This is not a self-citation but provides an empirical and theoretical basis for the recommendations offered. As a result, this research makes an important contribution.
