I spent some time this afternoon reading about Peruvian politics and Jaime Saavedra in particular. I thought it odd that he'd go from the World Bank to being Peruvian education minister, then being sacked for corruption, and now being touted by McKinsey. But I absolutely don't know enough about him or his politics to comment. But I will say this: it is wrong to credit someone for PISA results that changed one year into your term as education minister. Or even three years in. Education scores aren't like the stock market; they don't shift on a dime. So why is he being touted by McKinsey and others? Is that he's back with the World Bank? Or is it his policies? Anyhow, here are his papers and blog posts.
