AB  - The aim of the present communication is to discuss the impacts of the ongoing crisis in Southern Europe educational systems (Portugal, Spain, Greece and Italy), at both political and performance levels. 
During the last 20 years, significant improvements were observed in all four countries in key indicators such as early school leaving, pre-school enrolment or higher education enlargement, although with specific national dynamics. These results are related to internal political efforts to achieve convergence with the European qualification levels, and the impact of the educational implications of European policies, in particular the Lisbon Strategy.
The comparative analysis of what happened between 2000-2013 in Southern Europe educational systems reveals, as a preliminary conclusion, that the differences in the political cycles identified for each country can explain: 
1 - The reasons why each country differ in their results and priorities in the educational policy-making, suggesting further that equity can assume diverse conceptions at the national level and in different periods; 
2 – Why austerity measures negotiated with the troika differ in their implications in national educational policies; 
3 - Why budget crisis cannot be considered as an exclusive factor to explain the retraction in certain educational areas, but involves also the consideration of ideological and political choices and the way educational equity is conceived'
To put it briefly there are contradictory signs, some revealing resilience of southern educational systems dealing with the pressures of greater selectivity and elitism, others showing a clear degradation of the quality and equity inside them. In the end, this tension will redesign the prospects of educational systems and their contribute for the balance of social inequalities.
