Summary/Abstract: The education reform began in 1990 and it took some dramatic turns, as serious and touchy problems were approached without full knowledge of what they presupposed. First of all, thanks to a programme financed by the World Bank, they changed school textbooks. Alternative textbooks were printed by companies which had won public auctions and competitions, but the syllabus was still the same. New textbooks covered the old syllabus. At the same time as the movement for changing the textbooks, there was also a movement for changing the curricula and the syllabus. They first built the roof, and then the walls and they left the foundation to be built last.
