Challenge

The state of education in Argentina is deeply concerning. Shockingly, every 10 minutes, a student finds themselves either repeating a grade or leaving school altogether. Furthermore, a distressing statistic reveals that 1 in 4 primary school students fails to attain a satisfactory level in Language, while 4 in 10 fall short in Mathematics. This critical situation becomes even more pressing when examining the challenges faced by the most socioeconomically vulnerable population.

Solution

A complex challenge like Education demands collective action through all sectors of society. At Ensena por Argentina, we adress this by selecting promising professionals as Fellows, who teach in the most vulnerable schools, becoming inspirational teachers and making sure no child is left behind. Our fellows have amazing results in Social and Emotional Learning of their students, as well as academic goals, and they are consistently praised by school principals and other teachers as team-players.

Long-Term Impact

In addition to their practices at schools, during the 2 years of program fellows get trained in pedagogy, education and leadership. As a result, they build mindsets and a contextualized vision on education, and become part of a growing movement that is actively working to tackle inequity in education. More than 80% of Ensena por Argentinas Alumni are ctively changing education throughpublic policy, social entrepreneurship or school leadership.
