Education and the far right: The case of Javier Milei's government in Argentina

The article presents a critical analysis of the educational strategies and proposals of Argentina's new far-right libertarian government, led by Javier Milei. It explores how far-right political forces, both in Argentina and globally, use education as a central tool for consolidating power, building consensus and diffusing ultra-conservative ideologies. Through a critical theory approach, the paper analyses Milei's radical educational reforms, their political, cultural and social implications. The global resurgence of far-right movements is contextualised as part of a multifaceted and transnational phenomenon, where educational policy becomes a battleground for ideological influence. This study contributes to understanding why far-right ideologies are gaining popularity, how they maintain their legitimacy and the crucial role education plays in constructing hegemony.
