KRUGER, Natalia. Beyond access: social segregation and inequality in the argentine education system. Cuad. Econ. [online]. 2014, vol.33, n.63, pp.513-542. ISSN 0121-4772.  https://doi.org/10.15446/cuad.econ.v33n63.45344.

The article aims to diagnose the problem of socioeconomic segregation, which 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-to-high, and that the evolution across sectors has been dissimilar during the period.
