In the last decade, Argentina's educational history registered an unprecedented event, the sustained growth of educational financing for over a decade. However, as in education policies, an exceptional situation was wasted to promote structural reforms in education. This article addresses the historical characteristics of fiscal-educational federalism within the framework of an educational administration framed by the provision between centralization of resources (of the National State) and federalism of expenditures (in subnational states) and the attempt to overcome this bidding by means of the recentralization policies of the national State in the matter of educational financing between 2003 and 2015. In conclusion, the major milestones of the fiscal-educational relationship that led to the (exceptional) situation and that the educational policy did not know (or did not want to) capitalize as a scenario to promote educational reforms of state action are detailed.
