School and Youth in Argentina: The Student Center and the Demands of Comprehensive Sexual Education as Supports of School Experiences

Abstract

In this article we investigate the supports of school experiences, attending to the types
of institutional offer of secondary level, in a context of the COVID-19 pandemic and the gradual return to face-to-face classes in Argentina. The empirical data come from the study “Diversification of the secondary school structure and educational segmentation in Latin America” by ECLAC-IIEP UNESCO Buenos Aires and UNICEF, where focus groups and semi-structured interviews were carried out. In this article we are going to focus into the Student Center and the demands for the right to comprehensive sexual education (ESI) that, as instances of participation and sociability appear, from youth narratives, as privileged supports of school experiences.
