Argentina Observes Teacher’s Day With School Asueto Today

The date honors Domingo F. Sarmiento with an education-only pause that is not a national holiday, and its reach depends on provincial decisions.

Overview

  • Primary schools across the country suspend classes for students and teachers as part of the annual observance.
  • Several jurisdictions extend the pause beyond primary: Mendoza’s DGE aplica el asueto a inicial, primario, secundario y superior, and Buenos Aires Province and the City include secondary schools.
  • Universities generally continue normal activities, as the scope of the asueto is set by each institution or province.
  • El Día del Profesor, which commemorates José Manuel Estrada on 17 September, is observed separately and typically does not suspend classes.
  • El Día del Estudiante cae domingo el 21 de septiembre en 2025 y las autoridades señalan que no se trasladará; un reporte aislado sobre un feriado adicional el viernes carece de amplia confirmación.
