The “Teacher’s Tribute Door” consists of two bronze doors representing the places where the Argentines have received their primary education since the beginning of the National Organization Process.

Each of its panels reflects different aspects of education in a school, in the countryside, during the military service, or at work. There are eight sculptures carved on the door.
The carvings on the doors are complemented with the figures, simulating standing statues, of Mariano Moreno, Bernardino Rivadavia, Domingo Faustino Sarmiento y Manuel Belgrano.
Each of these four figures presents detailed profiles, features and gestures that allow the recognition of each of the above mentioned characters.
The Teacher’s Tribute Doors were created by ARTURO DRESCO, a pupil of Passaglia, following the stylistic model of Antonio Ghiberti’s Paradise Doors.
