LEMMI, Soledad; MORZILLI, Melina  and  MORETTO, Ornella. "To not work from sunrise to sunset": The senses of education in young and adult members of Bolivia' s horticultural migrant families of Gran La Plata - Buenos Aires, Argentina. Runa [online]. 2018, vol.39, n.2, pp.117-136. ISSN 1851-9628.

In this work we propose to investigate about the senses that the families that produce vegetables from Gran La Plata build with regard to education. They are composed mostly of migrant adults of Bolivian origin and their Bolivian and Argentine children. In this sense we will address the significance that they give to schooling both in cases of adults who decide to resume their primary and secondary education and of young people who are going through secondary school. Likewise, we analyze the strategies that they put into play to complete schooling according to these senses. The information was gathered from a qualitative methodology based on ethnographic work. We advance here the senses acquired by education for these families, both of adults and young people, as a strategy of extra-fifth sociability as well as a future possibility of improving their material conditions of life.

Keywords : Education; Horticulturists; Migrants; Bolivians; Argentina.
