TANARO, Martha Isabel. Regarding affirmation of equal opportunity as supported by the federal education law: Commentaries about a given case (II). Cuad. Fac. Humanid. Cienc. Soc., Univ. Nac. Jujuy [online]. 2006, n.30, pp.139-154. ISSN 1668-8104.

Does equal opportunity in education in fact exist, as proposed in our country in articles of the Federal Education Law (Law 24195, 14/04/93, Title II, Chapter I, Article 5, Paragraph f)? Upon analyzing the complete texture of internal and external factors one can affirm, at least with regard to the known student realities, that situations of social inequity and unjust distribution of goods affect in a very significant way the learning of students and their substantial transformation which ought to be a fruit of the educational process. We conclude, then, always with respect to known cases, affirming the idea that student failure is not only a product of the internal functioning of the system, but rather of prevailing social patterns, that is to say, the influence of factors that originate in the global socio-economic context in which the students' Standard of life originates. Therefore "equality of opportunities can't be upheld in a society in which social groups exist in inequality situations." Research was made in an 8th and 9th rural grades during /language/ hours. Students' works were analyzed. Interpretation takes two aspects into consideration: the prescribed curriculum and its fulfillment in school practice (the hidden curriculum).
