SCASSO, Martín Guillermo. ¿Cuántos jóvenes terminan la educación secundaria en la Argentina?: Cómo monitorear las metas de universalización de la educación secundaria. Propuesta educativa (Online) [online]. 2018, n.49, pp.32-47. ISSN 1995-7785.

More than ten years ago, the 26.206 National Education Law established the compulsory nature of secondary education for the entire population. In this period, new policies of national and / or jurisdictional scope aimed at expanding the terminality of the level with alternative schooling proposals to the existing organizational matrix. Despite the relevance of this goal, the information available still cannot construct a diagnosis of its fulfillment with the minimum requirements needed to feed policy decisions: to be updated and to have a national scope. The available data provide partial scenarios: the 2010 National Population and Housing Census shows an outdated diagnosis and the estimates from the Permanent Household Survey show exaggerated levels of terminality if they are used to characterize the situation of the country. In this framework, the article proposes some statistical analysis exercises on the completion of the secondary level in the young population. Through the linking of different information resources and non-traditional uses of the available data sources, it offers indicators and trends that allow us to understand the progress and challenges regarding compliance with the compulsory school and the impact of the recent policies.
