INIGO, Luisa  and  RIO, Victoria. Schooling Extension and Compulsory Secondary Education in Argentina: the role of the Universalization of Reading and Writing Abilities. univ.humanist. [online]. 2017, n.83, pp.213-243. ISSN 0120-4807.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.uh83.eeoe.

This article approaches the relation between extending compulsory schooling and the development of reading and writing abilities in Argentina. First, it examines the universalization of these abilities in the capitalist society, and then it analyzes recent transformations in labor processes that underlie the extension of the average schooling years. Finally, it focuses on the Argentinean case, specifically on the role of secondary schooling in the development of reading and writing abilities. To this end, both secondary school basic curricular contents in Language and the results of the “Operativo Nacional de Evaluación” (national assessment census) regarding this subject are analyzed.

Keywords : reading and writing; schooling extension; secondary school; Argentina.
