Los docentes anunciaron medidas de fuerza contra el \"desfinanciamiento educativo\".

Overview

  • CTERA and the Buenos Aires Province FUDB began on-site actions Wednesday with camps, public classes, open radios, caravans and events in plazas across the country.
  • The campaign is slated to culminate in a 24-hour walkout and a Federal Education March on Tuesday, Oct. 14, according to union announcements.
  • FUDB warned that Wednesday’s visibility actions could interrupt classes in parts of Buenos Aires Province, while Bahía Blanca reported school closures tied to a SUTEBA stoppage.
  • Union demands include restitution of FONID, a call to the national teacher bargaining table, increased education budget and infrastructure funds, and rejection of the 2026 budget.
  • Strategies diverge within the sector, as UDA pursues talks with the government following a meeting between its leader Sergio Romero and Human Capital Minister Sandra Pettovello.
