Argentina Ends State Pre-Approval for Private-School Tuition

Officials say the 1993 controls no longer fit a provincial-run system.

Overview

  • Decree 787/2025, published November 11 in the Boletín Oficial, repeals Decree 2417/1993 and takes effect immediately.
  • Private schools may now set enrollment fees and monthly tuition without prior notification or authorization from the state.
  • The Ministry of Capital Humano’s Education Secretariat was directed to review the 1991 framework under Decree 2542/1991.
  • The measure advances “libre contratación,” with the government asserting schools can set hiring terms and salaries without prior approval.
  • Initial media reports point to roughly 8% fee increases in CABA and Buenos Aires after the change, while provincial subsidies on monthly fees are reported as unchanged.
