Sumario:The article presents preliminary results of a research that we are developing whose object-problem focuses on the study of the right-wing offensive in education, specifically in the political-educational projects of right-wing governments and private actors in Argentina from 2015 to the present. In the article we analyze some of the guidelines and orientations of policies, programmes and agreements implemented during the government of Mauricio Macri, who was president of Argentina from 2015 to 2019, and his relationship with corporations, foundations, NGOs and think tanks. The thesis we hold throughout the text is based on the fact that the main strategies of Macri's neoliberal and neo-conservative political-educational project consisted of the attack, delegitimization and private colonization of public education. Macri's government promoted a process of private infiltration in public education, through the construction of an organic link between the State and private actors that materialized through the implementation of programs such as Commitment to Education, the signing of agreements, and the appointment of managers as officials in the State.
