The right to progress. Analysis of a socio-educational program in the key of university democratization

Abstract

This article addresses the main issues emerging from the thesis entitled Efectos y Sentidos del Progresar
desde las voces de los y las estudiantes universitarios. It seeks to describe the meanings assigned to the
Student Support Program in Argentina (Progresar) during the first two years of its implementation. To do
this, the voices of its headlines in the province of Entre Ríos are taken up again. Among the contribution
we can mention the assessment of the policy developed as essential to access and remain at the university
level. Its characteristics are highlighted, such as: universality, the possibility of contemplating multiple
educational trajectories, continuity and relationship with other social protection proposals, participation in
it and the integrality of initiatives that it intended to develop. In this framework, information is provided
for the discussion around the democratization of the higher university level and the participation of the
actors to whom the policies implemented for this purpose are intended, understanding the students as
subjects of rights, protagonists of their reality.
