Abstract

This article goes over the recent history of the Argentine Republic in relation to the educational location of adult education, in a relationship that is not always direct and clear with democracy as a political regime with different dimensions. The perspectives of Argentine Adult Education are rooted in Freirean pedagogy. The text offers some closer readings from that viewpoint, adapting them to the new social, political, economic and cultural contexts. In the field of adult education particularly, there is an urgent need to rethink the link between educator and student, content selection processes, forms of evaluation, design of school architecture, place of the school or educational centre as a production space of cognitive learning and articulation of academic knowledge with the culture of the community, in the country.

Key words: adult education, democracy, Argentina, liberating pedagogy.
