Overview

This book offers an in-depth analysis of the Self-Managed Schools experience - also known as Experimental Schools or Escuelas 2001 - in the Province of San Luis, Argentina, from a critical and interdisciplinary academic perspective. The analysis examines the political, economic and pedagogical logicunderpinning the creation of the project, inspired by the US charter school model and driven by private foundations and multilateral credit agencies. The study addresses the constitutive tensions running through the model: the redefinition of the public and private in education, the flexibilisation of teacher labour, the introduction of quasi-market mechanisms, institutional autonomy as a policy of individualised accountability, and forms of democratic participation.
