| Abstract | This paper is motivated by one basic question: how institutional arrangements are operating to exclude (or include) certain groups (the poor) from quality education. The Buenos Aires metropolitan area, the object of this case study, falls under two jurisdictions: The City of Buenos Aires and the Buenos Aires province. The paper uses two different points of reference with respect to which institutional arrangements are assessed. -- to what extent the rule of the game tend to favor the poor and the disadvantaged, and whether the prevailing rules tend to discriminate against this group. After an introduction, Section II presents a brief description of how the education system operates in the province and the city. Section III presents the main arguments on how the rules of the game in the education system tend to include/exclude certain groups. Section IV presents conclusions in terms of policy implication. The discussion on rules influencing teaching approaches suggests a potentially important role for the national level. The discussion on the distribution of students and both human resources and material inputs suggests the need for the Province and the City to reconsider what are the rules governing the distribution of resources within their systems with an eye on social inclusion. And the discussion on rules influencing the accountability of schools suggests looking into the need of further decentralization of management authorities. |
