These options were localized responses to changing relationships between policies, governance and building legitimacy. They put into focus the debate over school's control and its curriculum. This work analyzes what was decided about the curriculum in recent decades, taking as axis the path of Argentina and placing it in the context of different experiences in other countries in South America. Its purpose is to nourish a reflection on the problems and debates on national regulations on the curriculum.
