Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to review the Argentine case regarding school choice in view of the conclusions of recent research on socio-economic segregation in the educational system. In this context, the study of the Argentine educational system becomes a rather interesting one since Argentina has neither demand subsidy programs, nor voucher systems. On the contrary, the continuous actions by the State in matters of supply-oriented financing rule out any thoughts of a generalized existence of either educational markets or quasi-markets. Nevertheless, the strong regulating mechanisms imposed by the State seem to breed deregulated areas that promote actions by sectors with a greater economic or political capacity to satisfy their preferences in terms of their children's education.
