COVID-19 preventive social isolation generated an educational change that affected initial teacher training. The purpose of this inquiry was to prepare a balance of both the challenges and the lessons in the transition from the face-to-face teaching-learning modality to the distance teaching-learning modality. 53 teacher trainers were invited from eight Normal Schools in Mexico and six from Educational Campuses in the Dominican Republic -which offer a professional degree-, and a Colombia's Superior Normal School -that grants a technological degree-. A methodology was designed that first called for dialogue in each institution, later in Mexico and the Dominican Republic, to conclude with a meeting between countries that included the Normal Superior from Colombia. On the challenges, through the Grounded Theory, the following categories were revealed: Student permanence, curriculum implementation, control of academic processes, and psychological coping and management. About the lessons: Decision-making and management, designs' adaptation, collaborative work and support networks, and the human being at the center. This inquiry collects basic elements for possible innovations or research that academies or teaching teams they could start in response to educational change. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As in other public utilities, the privatization process of the provision of drinking water and sewer systems in a large part of the Argentinean territory is paradigmatic in many analytical dimensions. On the one hand, the speed of the process, the decisive presence of big transnational firms, the private sector's opportunistic behavior and the pro-firm official response against flaws of all sorts are, among others, the aspects that characterize the process during the nineties. On the other hand, in an also rapid process --that almost outshines the previous transfers to private capital- many foreign private operators have left the sector at the beginning of the century. This process was the result of both voluntary company decisions and public contract rescission's and nationalizations. Even international organizations with a private capital friendly vision --such as the Inter American Development Bank- recognize the fragility and social dissatisfaction of the whole privatization process in Argentina. The lessons from such an experience are particularly valuable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
