E43 - Education for All? The Long Road to Learning in Argentina

In this episode, we explore Argentina’s education system—from its early foundations linked to Sarmiento to how it works today. We’ll walk through every level (preschool, primary, secondary, and university), and I’ll share my own experience as a student along the way.

We’ll also talk about what high school feels like in Argentina, what it’s like to study at a public university, and the values, tensions, and challenges that shape the learning experience in this country. If you’re curious about how Argentines grow up learning—and what that says about our culture—this one’s for you. The episode is entirely in Argentine Spanish.
