This paper describes our analysis of the proposals, projects,and policies of the Argentine federal government headed by PresidentMauricio Macri to evaluate educational quality at a national level. The planincludes the standardized tests APRENDER and ENSEÑAR, the PLAN MAESTR@and the project to establish the Instituto de Evaluación de Calidad yEquidad Educativa. The current administration justifies these measures asa means of improving on the policies of the previous government. We arguethat these efforts apply to the national stage the experience accumulatedin the Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires during the years in which Macriserved as the city?s Jefe de Gobierno. This is a jurisdiction governed since2007 by the Alianza Cambiemos in which Macri?s PRO Party is the dominantparty. Using a qualitative approach and various sources, we analyzethe characteristics and organization of the government?s plan, and its conceptual basis. In addition, we analyze the difference between these policiesand those implemented by the former Kirchner administration/s.
