Puiggrós takes stock of the critical work on educational relations between the United States and Latin America, covering the evolution of Latin American pedagogical discussion in recent decades.

1999Puiggrós was an author or co-author of more than forty laws. Among the numerous projects she presented, the amendment to the Higher Education Law stands out. She proposed prohibiting university entrance exams and implementing measures that would ensure that all public universities remain free of charge and fees for the foreseeable future. The project was presented by the Front for Victory and obtained a half sanction in the Chamber of Deputies in 2013, with the support of all the blocks, the Radicals (UCR), the Victory Front (FpV) and the Progressives, except for the Republican Proposal Party (PRO), the only block that opposed. In October 2015 the initiative reached the Senate; the House of Senators turned the bill into law. Puiggrós explained that her aim was to break down those restrictive barriers that students face upon entering university, pointing to "elimination exams" and "other means of exclusion" as examples.
As an educator and politician, Adriana Puiggrós highlighted the preponderant role of education and urgent reforms in the field that were oriented on a higher level of inclusion of adolescents and young people in the educational process, and on the improvement of their living conditions.
