Abstract/Notes: This chapter provides an overview of Montessori education in Latin America, organized around three “waves” of interest in the method of Montessori in the region, seemingly linked to economic and political factors. These are: (1) the early emergence of Montessori across Latin America led by government policy makers and social reformers from the 1910s through the 1930s; (2) a second wave of Montessori from the 1950s to the 1970s, often introduced by foreign volunteers; and (3) the contemporary context of Montessori (from the 1980s onward), largely connected to private preschools, localized community undertakings, or charity and religious schools, particularly in rural areas. Alongside these thematic profiles, the chapter briefly highlights the development of Montessori in a few national contexts: Chile, Colombia, Peru, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Panama.

Abstract/Notes: There are currently Montessori schools in 33 African countries, primarily in early childhood education. This brief overview examines the diversity of Montessori practice throughout the African sub-continent, from the 1920s to today including private, philanthropic and government-funded efforts, as a racist, colonial project as well as part of efforts to decolonize education, to make it culturally responsive and empower communities, particularly in African rural areas. There are elite, private Montessori schools around Africa and Montessori practitioners have also developed innovative, affordable models for expanding Montessori, including sponsoring training and creating materials locally. In addition, they have demonstrated how key Montessori components can be aligned with aspects of African culture, including respecting the child, building independence, and cultivating peace, community, and a connection with nature. The chapter concludes with brief case studies of contemporary Montessori practice in South Africa, Nigeria, Egypt and Morocco.
