Electrical education in Argentina

Schooling begins when people are six years old. For a long time, education was considered almost the government´s obligation to fulfill. In the last thirty years, however, private schools have helped shoulder this responsibility. Electrical engineering is taught in several universities. Most universities are part of the government system and are located all around the country. In general, each university has an engineering faculty with an electrical or an electronic department. Education starts with an introductory course in physics, chemistry and mathematics. The course´s final examination determines whether the student will be enrolled in the basic cycle. This introductory course is mandatory and depends on each university.<>
