Prizadevanja za izobrazbo med slovenskimi izseljenci v Argentini

After arriving in Argentina during the period between the two world wars and after World War Two, Slovene emigrants, unless they were highly sought-after skilled craftsmen, technicians or had a university education, were forced to take any job they were offered and start on the lowest rung of the social ladder. To prevent their children from having to start their careers in the same way that they had had to, they strove for, and continue to strive for, their professional education. These efforts have been highly successful. Among the postwar political emigrants alone, more than 700 people graduated from university over a period of 48 years, after arriving in Argentina.Ko so slovenski izseljenci prišli v Argentino med vojnama in po drugi svetovni vojni, so morali, če niso bili izredno potrebni obrtniki, tehniki ali univerzitetni izobraženci, sprejeti ponujeno zaposlitev in začeti na najnižjem klinu družbene lestvice. Da njihovim sinovom in hčeram ne bi bilo potrebno začeti zaposlitev na enaki stopnji, so si prizadevali in si še prizadevajo za njihovo poklicno izobrazbo. Ta prizadevanja so rodila dobre sadove. Samo iz vrst povojne, politične emigracije je v 48 letih naselitve diplomiralo čez 700 univerzitetnih in višješolskih izobražencev
