Overview
- The government published Decree 787/2025 in the Boletín Oficial, repealing Decree 2417/1993 and ending the requirement for private schools to notify or obtain national approval for tuition and enrollment charges.
- Institutions may now set matriculation and monthly quotas based on their costs and market conditions, replacing prior rules that included advance disclosure deadlines and parent agreement procedures.
- The decree instructs the Ministry of Capital Humano, through the Secretaría de Educación, to examine Decree 2542/1991, which underpins the private education financing framework.
- News outlets report concerns over higher household costs, with one estimate suggesting an initial 8% rise in fees in CABA and Buenos Aires, though these increases are projections rather than official figures.
- Coverage differs on scope, with some reports saying the change primarily affects non‑subsidized schools (roughly 6% of institutions) while provincial subsidy regimes and oversight continue under local authorities.
