Overview
- The Ministry of Capital Humano reported on July 2, 2026 that 76.9% of sixth graders reached satisfactory or advanced levels in Lengua, a 10.5 percentage-point rise from 2023 and a fall in students below basic from 11.9% to 4.9%.
- Mathematics remains weak with roughly five of every ten students meeting expected levels, a pattern that has shown only modest change over more than a decade.
- The Aprender 2025 operativo tested about 750,000 sixth-grade students in over 20,000 schools with record participation of 95% of schools and 84% of students, making the results broadly representative for policy decisions.
- The government highlighted gains in targeted 'Escuelas Alfa' from the Plan Nacional de Alfabetización and said it will strengthen math-focused policies under recent federal agreements reached at the Consejo Federal por la Alfabetización.
- The Ministry has released only national headline figures so far and has not published the full technical report or province-level breakdowns needed to design local interventions and assess where improvements occurred.
