Abstract

El objetivo de este artículo es diagnosticar el problema de la segregación del alumnado por nivel socioeconómico en la escuela secundaria argentina, factor que profundiza la inequidad de los aprendizajes. Su contribución es evaluar qué tan desigual es la distribución de los estudiantes de distinto origen social entre las redes de gestión pública y privada, y entre las escuelas de cada subsistema. Para ello, se estiman diversos índices sintéticos utilizando datos del Programa para la Evaluación Internacional de Alumnos (PISA) 2000 y 2009. Los resultados reflejan un nivel general de segregación moderado a alto, y una evolución dispar del fenómeno entre los distintos sectores durante el período. ***** This article aims to diagnose the problem of socioeconomic segregation, which ultimately leads to greater inequality in academic achievement in the Argentine secondary school system. The main contribution is to assess the unevenness in the distribution of students from different socioeconomic backgrounds across the public and private school sectors, as well as across schools within each sector. For this purpose, various synthetic indices are estimated using data from PISA 2000 and 2009. Results suggest that the general level of social segregation is moderate-tohigh, and that the evolution across sectors has been dissimilar during this period.
