"... Let's make a straight
in the Schools To
Can enter the working class ... "
chose this
fragment of the university because it includes songs from good faith, many contradictions. Like everyone else. Choose this fragment because it was the only one to conjure moments of militancy college resume, somehow, the vocation of the national and grassroots activists to link the struggles against the neoliberal policies of the '90s with the historical struggles of the student movement, when the was not conceived out of the struggle of the national movement. In a way, we wanted to be the historical continuation of the Student Movement who joined the great mass politics that was the "Fight and Return", which provided valuable paintings the revolutionary organizations in unit labor movement began to standing Córdoba in 1969. Of course, we recall had a lot of tribute to the thousands of comrades who disappeared during the military dictatorship.
is why it is necessary to provide context for this song catchy, contradictory. The question is: Is a ladder to the working class "upload" the powers? That is, what the University is top of the labor movement? Or is it that the working class down to the powers? From where you analyze this sentence does not hold. Maybe this song was just a little formula to evoke sound Eva Peron in his descent from heaven, the ladder made of bones Aramburu. But no more.
However, this expression gives way to frame the core of this note is about how to understand the socialization of education. Concepts such as public education, mass, open to the people, must necessarily problematized in order to discover the keys to leave the setpoint status and become ideas and political action. This paper will try to address the problem of inclusion, socialization, from various perspectives, with a parallel analysis to student demands, together with public policies that are geared in that direction.
The 90's, creations and empty
During the years of Menem created a significant number national universities, as well as private. A characteristic feature of these universities was that it was beginning its academic offerings to sensu latus, in full glare of the technological leap and where it appeared that the virtual Internet and were going to overturn the traditional models of teaching and learning.
One hypothesis that we could make is that the creation of universities socialize in some way, higher education, since universities were created to host the Greater Buenos Aires.
It would however be cynical to assume this scenario as entirely valid in the neoliberal context because while new universities were springing up, thousands of workers were losing their jobs and therefore the university education of the children of unemployed workers not only became a utopia, but worse, ceased to be in the imaginary popular classes devastated by misery perhaps unprecedented in the last 50 years. "M'hijo the doctor" had passed into history, with no prospect of return.
as outlined above, the process of creation of universities during the Menem administration was completely counter to what was happening in the classes. No doubt (or I would hesitate a little) the creation was more associated with a response to the explosion of the Internet. It is no coincidence that most of the new universities, had, has and will in its academic careers as education modality is distance, same as for the '90s this area was completely incipient education. To cite examples, during the period 1988 to 2002, National University created the following: Chili (2002), Formosa (1988), UNSAM (Universidad Nacional de General San Martín, 1992), General Sarmiento (1992), La Matanza (1989), Patagonia Austral (1994), La Rioja (1994), Lanus (1995), Quilmes (1989), Tres de Febrero (1995), Villa Maria (1995), Northwest Province of Buenos Aires ( 2002). If one takes into account that the national university system had the 2003 with 30 universities, we can deduce that the number of universities in the mentioned period increased by 50%.
course, the rise of universities has not solved the problem at all including the university system, but one can say that the existence of these new universities to be resignified, with new meaning and social role, if you can answer this question.
I'm not sure to make general statements about historical and political processes, as my training does not qualify me, but from a common place, from intuition, I can say that in this process educational policies related to higher education had cracks neoliberal interesting to analyze.
The students' struggle of the '90s was marked almost exclusively by the resistance to the Higher Education Act (LES), adopted in 1995. This law had (and has) the original sin of being a policy more in the direction outlined in the International Monetary Fund, under the Washington Consensus and in consideration of the outrageous borrowing to sustain parity $ 1 = $ 1U D. However, the LES in the articles had some characteristics that tried to overcome the liberal reformist tradition.
-not only us as a people, are traversed by contradictions. The writer does not know for sure at this point soir of whether they were proper or contradictions between those who participated in the discussions and articles of the LES had deputies to time discussing the concepts of autonomy, academic schedule; ie between the body of the LES is interesting aspects if we think it should be a new university model.
who writes it will not make a defense of the LES after fought, along with thousands of peers. However, at 15 years of debate, it is possible to establish a critical discussion of the LES, in this new scenario. Just to make some interesting points, could signal the Teaching Career, historic university professors claim for recognition as workers, and therefore the struggle for job security. Another aspect is the suitability of the concept of university autonomy, most of the time, college is autism. But it was the original sin, makes our struggle continues today being claimed yesterday.
South, 2003 and after
From the assumption of Nestor Kirchner to the presidency, the public agenda was marked by the following, among others: social inclusion, human rights , justice, labor and education. Perhaps the feature of his policy was to attempt to take these problems into a single agenda, with different time.
to the educational area, the first medium-range plan was to reach an application of 6% of GDP on education, when he was just a meager 2%. Now the question is what is meant so great rise in investment in education and relate it in terms of higher education. Regarding this point, we must see that the political process is supported to some extent in a rational view regarding enrollment trends, ie the number of students.
A highlight in this regard is that from 2003 to
On the other hand, the profile linked to industrial more characteristic of this government consistently makes the emergence of a Ministry of Science, Technology and Technological Innovation. Along with this vision more closely linked to production appeared Bicentennial Scholarship (defined as priorities for racing), scholarship, ICT-related technological fields related to computing and communication, etc. Now the question is how to fill the universities, new and not so much.
Fill universities supposed to fill the fifth (sixth) year of high school, and for this to occur, must all finish primary school, and so on. But for all this to happen, it is necessary to advance in the distribution of wealth, creating quality jobs, ultimately, social inclusion. It is the aim of this paper to analyze the problem of labor and delivery, but if it is the analysis of the educational process as a whole.
can draw well just some policies which undoubtedly marked the process: the National Education Act provided a legal framework which, among the most important points can be noted from compulsory room 3 years until the last year of high school, the aforementioned increase of the budget on education reaching 6% of GDP. And finally, the adoption of the Universal and Son, with the conditions of immunization and education, resulted, as an example in the province of Buenos Aires, in a tuition increase of 15% on average, according to data from the General School. With this background context, we can think of the creation of new universities and in principle would be planted from early in the educational life of the population.
Next by way of example, described the new National University Arturo Jauretche, located in Florencio Varela, created in conjunction with the Universities of Joseph C. Peace, and Moreno.
In May 2008, the Chamber of Deputies, the opens the file 2551-D-2008 with a note by Mr Carlos Kunkel, Marcela Bianchi Silvestre, Juan Carlos Sluga, Ariel Pasini, Luis Ilarregui, Luis Cigogna, Mary Teresa García, Héctor Recalde, Remo Carlotto and Adela Segarra. The reason for the note, the creation of the Universidad Nacional Arturo Jauretche, located in the city of Florencio Varela.
The mere transcription of dumping grounds, gives account of deeper level of analysis Varela district demographic and ideological definitions that make your creation. On December 2 was approved the creation of this university, in conjunction with the Universities of Joseph C. Paz, Moreno and September 29, was enacted the law that creates them.
The discussion process for the creation of the UNAJ is home a few days of debate and reflection on the College Polimodal No. 9. In those days they discussed the need to create a university in this district. Clear that not only responded to a territorial issue, but an ideological pose of the role that the university should take in a city with one of the highest levels of unsatisfied basic needs.
Since its birth, this university is not conceived as a set of faculties or institutes isolated from each other, but seeks a harmony between the powers, leading from the start, joint projects, and promoting multidisciplinary and backbone of academic growth.
As a result of days of reflection, the races were originally proposed: Communication, Agronomy, Faculty for Middle Level Education, Nutrition. With these races as a base, and the development of the project, joined the racing and training at the Institute of Engineering, Industrial Engineering career, electro, Bioengineering and Computer Engineering.
From the pedagogical point of view and taking into account the remaining gaps in the secondary education system, the first semester for freshmen is quite common, which seeks for the first steps of the student is twofold: the leveling, socialization and training of student awareness of social engagement that gives meaning to their training.
Mathematics, Text Analysis and Development, Information and History will be the first subjects of the first calendar year. Not as a CBC, UBA, but as part of undergraduate studies. All races will be oriented to social practices, with a strong component in Extension and Transfer.
addition, all races will have an interim title that allows the student to enter the labor market with a solid, from the technical. Wanted the life that the writer of this is part of the team I put together the Institute of Engineering. I sincerely hope to live up to the expectations of the people of Florencio Varela.
It appears that the first half of 2011 the University opened its doors to the first entrants.
