The document discusses education programs in Argentina for poor children. It notes that 48% of Argentina's 13 million children are poor. The government spends 5.5% of GDP on education, compared to less than 3% for top-ranked Singapore. Programs discussed provide money (AUH), meals, transportation assistance (Student Pass), and computers (Plan Sarmiento) but conclude the funding is still insufficient for quality education.
