Instituto Superior de Formación Docente Nº 11

What Instituto Superior de Formación Docente Nº 11 does

Instituto Superior de Formación Docente Nº 11 (ISFD 11, also known as "Instituto Once") is a public teacher training institute located in Lanús, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, operating under the Dirección General de Cultura y Educación de la Provincia de Buenos Aires and the national Instituto Nacional de Formación Docente (INFoD). Founded in 1976, the institute offers six four-year undergraduate teacher training programs (Profesorado) covering Initial Education (early childhood), Primary Education, English as a Foreign Language, Mathematics, Economics, and Political Science, plus a complementary Tramo de Formación Pedagógica for graduates of other disciplines seeking teaching credentials. It serves aspiring teachers drawn primarily from the Lanús district and the broader Buenos Aires Province catchment area, operating two physical sites — the Ituzaingó 1770 headquarters and a Piedrabuena evening-shift site — across three daily shifts (morning, afternoon, evening) to accommodate students including working adults.

Service delivery is supported by a virtual learning environment (Campus Virtual) for hybrid and online coursework, while enrollment is administered through the provincial SIU Guaraní pre-registration platform. Supervised practical training (prácticas docentes and residencias) is delivered through an extensive network of partner schools — Jardines de Infantes, Escuelas Primarias, and secondary schools across Lanús district and beyond — and the institute participates in provincial initiatives such as TAIN (joint pedagogical research and articulation workshops with peer ISFDs), Proyecto AFoD (literacy and teacher development), and ongoing collaboration with CIIE Lanús, Universidad Nacional de Lanús, the Municipality of Lanús, and the labor union SADOP.

As a public educational institution, ISFD 11 is funded primarily through the provincial education budget and provides tuition-free education; a voluntary cooperadora contribution supports library and student activities, and no external equity, private ownership, or commercial revenue streams are evidenced. Governance is exercised through a Director-led management team (newly constituted in September 2024 under Director Lic. Andrea Casareski), with a current total headcount of approximately 104 employees across faculty, regentes, and administrative roles. There is no commercial product, SaaS offering, or external API; the institute's "products" are its academic programs and the LMS-style virtual campus, delivered as state-funded public education services.

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• Coursera: Global online learning platform partnering with universities worldwide to offer credential programs including teacher training and continuing education. Not a direct in-person competitor but a credible alternative pathway for the kind of non-traditional students ISFD 11 reaches via its Tramo and Campus Virtual channels.

Direct peers

• ISFD Nº 18 (Banfield): Another public teacher training institute in Banfield (also Lomas de Zamora partido) jointly participating in TAIN pedagogical research with ISFD 11. Operates the same free public teacher credentialing model under the same provincial framework.
• Universidad Nacional de Lanús (UNLa): Public higher education institution headquartered in the same city as ISFD 11. Offers undergraduate and graduate programs (including education-adjacent areas) and is an active partner via TAIN and other joint activities, making it the closest local comparable for a public post-secondary institution in Lanús.
• ISFD Nº 102 (Lomas de Zamora): A sister public teacher training institute in the neighboring Lomas de Zamora partido of Buenos Aires Province. Listed as a core partner on TAIN workshops and shares the exact regulatory framework, market and curricular standards as ISFD 11 — the most directly comparable operating model.

Broad incumbents

• Universidad Nacional de La Plata (UNLP): Major Argentine public research university with a Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educación that trains teachers. Comparable as a public higher-education alternative for the same student pool, though much broader in mission and size than ISFD 11.
• Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA): Argentina's flagship public university, which trains secondary teachers through its Facultad de Filosofía y Letras. Far broader in scope but shares the public, tuition-free higher-education model and competes for aspiring teacher candidates across the same province.
