Official information on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on girls' and women's schooling in Argentina has been scarce, but it is essential that we examine the difficulties experienced by girls and female adolescents in order to draw up policies to prevent a deepening of the educational gender gap. The available literature indicates that woman-headed and woman-supported households have a higher incidence of poverty, unemployment, and work overloads than others and less cultural capital for assisting in their children's schooling. Obstacles connected with the pandemic appear to be linked to the lack of technical resources, the assumption of new caregiving or work tasks, and the absence of women from the crisis committees formed to deal with the pandemic. La información oficial sobre el impacto de la pandemia del COVID-19 en la escolarización de las niñas y mujeres en Argentina ha sido escasa. Sin embargo, es fundamental que examinemos las dificultades que experimentan niñas y adolescentes para así elaborar políticas que eviten una profundización de la brecha educativa de género. La literatura disponible indica que los hogares encabezados o sostenidos por mujeres tienen una mayor incidencia de pobreza, desempleo y sobrecarga de trabajo que otros, así como menos capital cultural para asistir en la escolarización de los hijos. Los obstáculos relacionados con la pandemia parecen estar relacionados con la falta de recursos técnicos, el incremento de nuevas tareas de cuidado o trabajo, y la ausencia de mujeres en los comités de crisis formados para hacer frente a la pandemia
