Abstract During the 90s, the governments of the three Latin American Southern Cone countries defined and implemented fundamental transformations in their education systems entailing core aspects such as management modalities, improvements in equity and quality and changes in financing mechanisms, which were categorized as "education reforms". The governments of Argentina, Chile and Uruguay have recently promoted extensive reviews of such reforms, involving in the discussion, in different formats, multiple political and social stakeholders. As a result of those debates there are already new education laws (Argentina), recommendations for a future bill to be introduced into parliament in the current year (Uruguay) and a bill introduced into Congress (Chile). This paper examines, from a comparative perspective, the significance and scope of these novelties.

Keywords : Education Reforms; Public Policies; South Cone.
