The purpose of this paper is to analyze primary education policy during the administration of the self-proclaimed "Liberating Revolution". The few studies that have examined this issue state that the Liberating Revolution government erased the traces that Peronism had left in the education system. Our interest is to review this process. To do this, we analyze the conflicts within the government, the institutional design of education governance and internal organization of schools. We ask whether despite the ideological and political ruptures, it is possible to find elements of continuity with the previous period. Our empirical observation area is the province of Buenos Aires.

This paper presents partial results obtained during a research program developed between Universidad Nacional del Sur and Bahia Blanca Council at Buenos Aires province, Argentina. It was titled "Building the field of children at risk in policymaking at Bahia Blanca city". The main purpose was to characterize the way children in social risk are being defined inside the everyday life of state institutions, specifically those dependents on education and health care system. This presentation analyzes the fist type. At primary schools, children at risk are conceptualized by both adults and children, in their ongoing relationships, during socialization and identity process. These processes are being development in vulnerability areas that point to exclusion systems, because of the material conditions of life and the characteristic of the institutions that adults build daily. The presented data come from the ethnographic exploration in the districts of Villa Miramar and Bella Vista. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
