| Sumario: | Since the beginning of 2021, an intense public discussion has been generated in the media and in various spheres of daily life about the need, opportunity and relevance of school attendance in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The political disputes around the issue and the varied marches and countermarches of education systems around the world regarding their policies of opening and closing school buildings have placed education at the center of the scene. Inspired by the scarcity of local studies about the representations of the general population about educational policies in pandemic and committed to contribute from research to understanding the present, the authors of this article set out to analyze the representations of the population about the situation education and policies of return to presence during the year 2021 in Argentina. In the first place, the social representations about the beginning of face-to-face classes and their subsequent eventual or actual suspension are presented according to the epidemiological situation of each jurisdiction due to the increase in cases in the framework of the second wave of the pandemic. Second, expectations about the 2021 school year are discussed.
In the framework of a more comprehensive investigation corresponding to the PISAC COVID-19 call, this work is based from 47 semi-structured interviews carried out between April and May of 2021 to inhabitants of different regions of the country with and without direct contact with the educational system, who investigated the various topics of the project, including the educational question. The analysis of the article focuses on the positions around the main measures associated with the return to presence taken by governments and the expectations associated with the return to schooling and the future of the 2021 school year. |
