Inés Aguerrondo (Argentina) A graduate in sociology, Ms Aguerrondo is at present Assistant Secretary for Programming and Management at the Argentine Ministry of Culture and Education. Formerly a professor of educational planning at the Universities of Entre Ríos and Luján, she was also a thesis and research advisor at FLASCO and CONICET. In addition to numerous book chapters, journal articles and research papers, her recent publications includeLa planificación educativa como instrumento de cambio [Educational planning as an instrument of change] (1990) andEscuela, fracaso y pobreza [Schools, drop-outs and poverty] (1992).

For their careful reading of the preliminary versions, I would like to thank Silvia Canela, Gustavo Cosse, Ricardo Ferraro, Federico Mejer and Alejandro Morduchovicz, whose comments filled out a great many of these ideas, added others and were of great help to me.
