	Education in Argentina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Religious education was re-established in 1943, during the brief dictatorship of Pedro Pablo Ramírez.
		During the rule of Juan Domingo Perón (1945–1955), public education was used to further the president and his wife's personality cult (pictures of Perón and Evita were prominently displayed in them, pieces of their writings were used as reading materials, etc.).

		It emphasized the need to agree on education policies “within the Federal Council of Culture and Education,” which consists of “the highest educational authorities of the twenty-three Argentine provinces and the City of Buenos Aires,” and over which the National Ministry of Education presides.
		Argentina’s history has been heavily influenced by an upper class mainly of European descent that emerged from the colonial period.
		Any notion of education reform was out of the question and was replaced instead with physical repression, the invasion of campuses, and the arrest and “disappearance” of lecturers and students identified with the Left.

	EPAA Vol. 11 No. 17 Gorostiaga: Secondary Education in Argentina during the 1990s: The Limits of a Comprehensive Reform ...
		During the 1990s Argentina experienced a profound reform of the educational sector as part of a general restructuring of the state, as well as of attempts to 'modernize' the country and adapt to international economic competition.
		In the case of Argentina, there are indications that while the process of restructuring has faced significant barriers, it is at the level of reculturing where reform strategies are more in need of refinement, and of securing the support of educational actors as well as the different levels of government.
		Enrollment rates relate to enrollment in a particular level of education to the age cohort that commonly would be expected to be participating in that particular level of education.

	International Developments in Clinical Legal Education
		The role of clinical education in promoting reflection on the discrepancies between the theory and practice of the law is particularly significant in the very traditional context of the Argentine academy, with its dogmatic adherence to formalistic models of legal theory and education.
		This has influenced the development of the educational experience, placing students in a context in which the social and political objectives of their work are explicitly enunciated, playing an important role in the selection of cases and the nature of their clinical experience.
		The failure of clinical legal education to develop further in Argentina appears to be largely attributable to obstacles and resistance presented by conservative attitudes to legal education within universities and the legal profession.

	International Higher Education--26/13
		From my point of view as a commission member, the present debate over higher education and its reform seems marked by a very shortsighted perspective and driven by an overwhelming notion of “financial and economic crisis.” When the commission’s work is concluded, Argentina’s historical tradition of public higher education is expected to undergo significant changes.
		At the top of the educational pyramid, 31.5 percent of the 18-to-24 year-old age cohort was enrolled in higher education institutions, with a 15 percent completion rate.

	International Higher Education--3/CY4
		It is an extreme example of this Latin American model of higher education, one characterized by free access obtained with the simple completion of secondary school, dominated by professional studies, scarce research, and a demoralized professoriate, composed largely of part-time professors.
		It should be noted, in order to clarify this point, that there are no general education degrees in Argentina (such as the Bachelor's degree) and that the majority of the academic degrees coincide with professional degrees.
		The authors of the new law on higher education were confronted by structural failures in addition to a range of problems affecting universities equal to those found in any other country.

	EIAL X1 - Politics and Education in Argentina, 1946-1962
		The subject of Mónica Rein's Politics and Education in Argentina, 1946-1962 is precisely what its title indicates: Peronism and the manifold impacts of Peronism on the education system, top to bottom; and the politics of de-Peronization, from 1955 to 1962, and the many consequences of that enterprise for the educational system.
		The Peronist section follows with a chapter on "Children and Education in Peronist Thought and Policy," which examines the close personal attention the General gave to reforming education --something of a national disgrace, particularly away from the big cities, in the 1940s.
		His removal by the military in 1962 left Argentina in a desperate muddle, the tragic aspects of which would become apparent during the incipient civil war of the mid-1960s and the appalling sequence of events that began with General Onganía's seizure of power in 1966.

		The transition taking place within higher education in Argentina is economically driven not only by the global dominance of the market but also in response to the “third sector of the economy”—the service sector.
