The aim of the present essay is to review and discuss the transformations High School Education in Argentina is going through, in the context of a period of transition/redefinition in which factors related to t he two latest normative frameworks (Federal Law of Education number 24.195 and Law of National Education number 26.206) coexist. Thus, the most relevant institutional and pedagogical changes that have taken place in the period ranging from 2001 up to the present are identified and then reflected upon. Then, we focus on the analysis about the achieved aims and the pending challenges. We conclude that - under a common denominator of a participatory work model - there is a continuity in the work cores, although we have to acknowledge the fact that the situation in the country is diverse and that there are still some actions to do and some aspects to reinforce.
