This paper will develop what is understood by the right to education and how it is specifically regulated in the contexts of confinement, taking into account how the educational stimulus regulated in article 140 of Law 24.660 operates and its importance in the process of social reintegration of inmates. A comparison will be made between what is sanctioned by the National Education Law and the international human rights instruments with constitutional hierarchy that support this right and what actually happens in the penitentiary system. Likewise, an analysis will be made of Argentine jurisprudence that recognizes the right to education of persons deprived of liberty and its importance for the system of progressiveness regulated by the law of penal execution. On the other hand, an analysis will be made of how, in practice, the reduction regulated by article 140 has lost its virtuality due to the introduction of a group of offenses that are not eligible for the liberatory institutes through Law 27.375. The main objective lies in the need to emphasize that education in prison contexts is essential for social reintegration and that the State has the obligation to guarantee this right.

This paper analyzes the most recent changes in Argentine federalism and the challenges that arise from the migration process from a dual model to a cooperative one. Specifically, it reflects on the political and institutional challenges for the formulation and implementation of public policies and the transformations in terms of articulation of these policies in heterogeneous contexts: large differences between different levels of regional development, and also in terms of political-ideological conception and policy orientation of the highest authorities of the executive in each of the levels of government. In order to analyze these challenges we work over the federal councils, considering them as an instrument that promotes public policy coordination between the national government and the provincial states. In this sense, we explore the transformations of the federal management of educational policy since it provides evidence to identify significant milestones in the process of transformation of the management arrangements of Argentine federalism and, on recent experience, how the consolidation of the Federal Education Council (FEC) contributes to improve the conditions of the joint cooperative model. The paper seeks to contribute to the debate on federalism and intergovernmental relations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes and discusses the Law Nº 7446 named “Educación Pública de Gestión Comunitaria Bilingüe Intercultural Indígena” (Public Management Community Bilingual Intercultural Indigenous Education) approved in the Chaco province in 2014. Specifically reviews the discussions on the name of these Schools: Gestión Social (Social Management) and Gestión Comunitaria (Community Management). It also analyzes the involvement of the Community Council in the designation of the educational staff. The data used for this paper is: different versions of the Project Law, regional news press between 2010 and 2014, official speeches and some interviews with the people involved in this educational process (Union Educational Leaders and native teachers). This paper concludes thinking on the meanings of interculturality notion observed in the speeches of the social actors involved in Indigenous Education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Equity in education is socially desirable because of the relevance of education for the development of people. Therefore, it is interesting to study whether the allocation of spending on education takes into account this aspect. Since the concept of fairness is not univocal, it is necessary to define a position. Here, it is assumed that there is educational equity if equality exists in educational outcomes. Thus, the purpose of the paper is to examine whether the distribution of educational spending among the districts of the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, is equitable. The hypothesis that it is not, is proposed. The Gini coefficient and an Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression are used to verify this hypothesis. It was found that the distribution of funds depends directly on the degree of illiteracy among districts, but also there is evidence that is independent of poverty, dropout rate, percentage of enrollment in the initial levels and the proportion of establishments classified as unfavorable. Then, it is concluded that the educational expenses distribution is not governed, or it is only done very weakly, by the principle of equity in the paper considered. That is, empirical evidence verifies the proposed hypothesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we work about the sense that the concept of inclusion acquired as a guiding principle of educational policies in the context of progressive governments 2003-2010 in Argentina, Uruguay and Brasil. We describe and analyze some educational policy programs aimed at educational inclusion in those countries based on theoretical contributions and political perspectives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes some aspects related to the public debate about immigrant population and the construction of a national identity in Argentina during the first decades of the 20 th. century. Immigration, education and nationalism were the thee ideas which originated the debate on a possible model of country and constituted a field of tensions that covered the period of the great immigration wave. This paper will, in the light of these reflections, illustrate some of the features that these aspects acquired in a rural area. Southeast of the province of La Pampa the largest number of migratory population was farmed by groups of people who migrated from eastern Europe. The presence of Jewish colonies, such as the Narcisse Leven colony, meant the birth of debates on these groups which seemed to question the basis of the "Argentine Nationality". This text emphasizes the complexs relationship among immigration, education, and ethnicity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we test the positive -assortative- mating (PAM) hypothesis that posits that marriages can be positively sorted along the couple's education using Argentinian data. Using a regression approach, we find that the effect of husband's education on wife's education is positive and significant. Then, we empirically verify if the observed matching distribution is super-modular, i.e., the local log odds ratios of education are all positive. We conclude that the data (weakly) supports Becker's positive assortative mating hypothesis in Argentina. The model that best describes marriage formation is more consistent with preference for own type rather than with PAM. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we will analyze the level of conflict of teachers in the eighties in Argentina. We will do so through the study of the teacher union of the province of Santa Fe and of the 1988 strike that had a major national impact. This protest took different names, such as "Maestrazo", "White Demonstration" or "White Strike", but they all referred to the same scenario: mass mobilization encouraged by teachers and their union representatives in a troubled political, economic and cultural context at national level.

This paper seeks to initiate a reflexion on education as another way of thinking of the May 1810 revolution in Argentina. Such a goal requires returning, among other things, to the objectives of the May Revolution, which were the principles intended for education, what kind of knowledge and skills were believed to be necessary, which was the relationship between education and change and what were the philosophical, political and pedagogical educational paradigms of that time. The insistence of some of the "men of May" about the new government to be based on an also new citizen made them rethink education, in order to ensure the people's access to revolutionary ideas with which they intended to found a new order, and perhaps a nation.

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 analyzes the determinants of school attendance and labor participation of young people between 15 and 18 years old in Argentina. The empirical analysis is based on bivariate probit models for the period from 2004 to 2009 with data from the Permanent Household Survey (EPH-INDEC). The main results show the positive impact on both school attendance and the economic inactivity of youth when an adult member of the household is employed in a protected job. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper they are proposed and analyzed measures of educational levels (by defining the variables "years of education" and "greater educational attainment") as well as educational flows (through the estimation of "gross" and "net enrollment rates") in order to observe their recent evolution and to make an updated profile of the distribution of educational attainment across the Argentinean population. Unlike most of the literature, the use of household survey allows the construction of educational indicators as levels and cycles actually finished without additional restrictive assumptions such as the average years of repetition or dropout. It will see that, although the flows evolution in terms of enrollment rates has been positive, there has been an enlargement of the gap between gross and net enrollment rate and they strongly depend on economic shocks. In addition, the stock measured by levels and years of education shows two points of concentration in the distribution across the population space. These observations open up questions about the quality and effectiveness of future educational stock and about the polarization existing today. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study tries to make a revision of the conflicts, negotiations and coexistences that characterized the configuration of the pedagogical field in Argentina during the 1930s, as well as recognizing the place that the New School occupied in it. This school of thought was not totally consistent as a whole: in fact, there was a wide range of interpretations about these ideas. In the Argentine pedagogical field of this decade, the relationship between the State and the educationalists who promoted New School's ideas was not always characterized by imposition or transgression. The New School wasn't an outsider in the educational system and the educational policy received its influence. Argentine promoters of New School that gathered around La Obra tried to present themselves as innovators in terms of pedagogical knowledge in order to appear as the only group capable of transforming the educational system as well as the only qualified to become spokesman for all the teachers in the country. This paper will analyze the underlying logic of the speeches of teachers and educationalists. It will be stated throughout this article that even though the Argentine pedagogical field had close connections with politics, it also followed its own path. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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]

This paper shows a self-assessment experience from students in PETE (Physical Education Teacher Education) in Argentina and its relationship with similar experiences in U.S.A. and Spain. In the first place there is a description of the experience which is later compared with different authors' conclusions and findings with which we worked in our context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article deals with student's participation spaces in Neuquén's secondary schools, tracing the map of its themes, subjects and strategies. These spaces are considered to be a fundamental part for citizenship educational processes in educational institutions. Thinking about student's participation spaces leads us to a very complex theoretical category. We understand spaces in this research as going beyond the subjects themselves, meaning that are built by the relations that are generated within them. The dynamic and complexity of this theoretical foundation allows us to inquire about who shapes those spaces, which voices are authorized and who authorizes them and, in this way, if it is possible the construction of a democratic coexistence in educational institutions. In order to outline some answers to these questions, this paper shows the incipient progresses of our investigation. To do so, this article begins with the presentation of a theoretical framework in which categories as spaces; participation and citizenship education are developed. These concepts enable the analysis of the interviews taken in two secondary schools of Neuquén province. In this way, the themes, subjects and strategies of participation make up the spaces of participation, through their interaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The incorporation of the notion of interculturality since the 90's in the state context has involved a new position of the State-nation towards indigenous people. Since then, the concept of interculturality —that became central within recognition policy— has been used in the educational field and developed new discourses and practices based on a new premise: the value of the "cultural diversity". The new educational policy has recently incorporated that same premise, but this time in order to transform the neoliberal project based on the analysis of a new law in that area. The aim of this paper is to explore the discourse associated to the intercultural project in the new educational policy considering its theoretical implications and political consequences.

The relations between Communication-Education organise a problematic configuration that allows us to think about present situations, transcending the first conceptualizations that were centered on the school/ media relationship. Social Sciences "classic" topics such us cultural transmission, authority or sociability can be refocused upon this perspective taking into account, on the one hand, discourse issues (its emerging conditions, circulation, reelaboration and censorship) and, on the other hand, the experiences (with institutions, among peers, intergenerational) as two concepts that allow to deepen viewpoints, which are often global in the educational phenomena. The aim of this work is to establish a connection between two research papers in process: the investigation on the ways in which the discourses on cultural authority go through the trajectory of the students training and the discourses -about sexuality, the body and affective relationships- which circulate in the frame of the student sociability. These topics are articulated from a common axis: the public space in which operations of cultural and intergenerational transmissions take place, with processes of reconfiguration of the subjectivities.

This paper analyzes, from a gender point of view, the relationship between education, women citizenship in two foundational moments of Argentinean educational system: 1894-1994. It focuses on the theoretical and political feminist genealogies at the time when the bourgeois revolution in education was thought as a mainstream for political change, namely it was crucial to debate about who must to be educated and how. The debate took place in the Argentinean case at the end of the 19th Century, and the result was the 1420 Law. But a century of educational practices were fading the traces of political polemics and putting in the scene pedagogic and technical issues. A new discussion about education, politics, and women citizenship takes place in the '80s with the return of democracy. At the same time a deep transformation of social structure occurred. The discussion culminated with the 24195 Law, in 1994. It took place at a singular crossroad: the return of citizenship questions, changes in the social structure (the so called new inequities), a sensibility about differences (sexual, racial, cultural differences). In this situation the debate about women's education as citizens was crossed by a deep tensions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article explores the representations and meanings regarding social inequality socially constructed in schools since the implementation of the Federal Law of Education in the 90's. This work analyses the implementation of institutional articulation policy in one school in the suburbs of Buenos Aires with the intention of describing how decentralization and autonomy policies contribute to reinforcing social inequalities in schools' everyday life. By reference to concrete ethnographic situations, we describe the process by which schools implemented the institutional articulation between former primary and secondary schools in order to understand not only what people say about social inequality in a particular moment in history, but also what people "do". As a result, this paper intends to describe the differentiation process among and within schools that the implementation of neoliberal policies leds to. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper tries to show the political ideological conceptions held by the public education policies in the province of La Pampa between 1984-1996. This period of time is the one beginning with the restoration of democracy and ending with the sanction of the Provincial Law of Education. The eighties were characterized by the reestablishment of institutional order and the attempt to design and establish policies based on the State of Welfare conception. During this period, the search for agreement with the provincial government and the teachers was mediated by the teacher's trade union which obtained historically claimed rights and labour achievements. In the nineties, neoliberal policies and the demands from international organizations give origin to deep changes in the educational system of La Pampa. The trend towards decentralization and the State reform policy account for the structural change implied by a new relationship between State and society. New strategies in the search for support appear; trade unions are no longer the privileged speakers; they have been shifted by the euphemism of «community participation» This analysis tries to trace in the official political discourse evidence of the above mentioned change in the idea of the role of the State in educational matters on the one hand, an on the other, the change in the strategies searching for support.
