Barber writes critically about people who "define the educational crisis

in terms of global competition and minimal competence." What is his
problem with this perspective?

Barber does not agree that global competition and minimal competence are elements that justify the educational crisis, since education is not promoted in a unitary and egalitarian way, thus failing to establish a strong global competence. The result of this global competition based on inequality is problematic, but it is not what establishes the educational crisis, but rather develops the minimum competence, since those with better educational conditions do not strive to achieve great results, since they are not privileged in competitive terms.
