Argentina’s Teachers Set Nationwide Strike for Tuesday as FUDB Backs Walkout

The stoppage presses for FONID restitution and a renewed national bargaining table.

Overview

  • CTERA called a 24-hour strike and nationwide mobilization for Tuesday, October 14, closing a weeklong campaign that included public actions and plaza activities.
  • A march is planned in Buenos Aires with a rally at Congress at 10 a.m., as part of coordinated protests across the country.
  • The Buenos Aires teachers’ front (FUDB) — AMET, FEB, SADOP, SUTEBA and UDOCBA — confirmed adherence to the strike and participation in the demonstrations.
  • Union demands include restoring the FONID, reconvening the Paritaria Nacional Docente, increasing education budgets and rejecting the 2026 budget proposal and cuts to technical education funding.
  • At the university level, Conadu Histórica will join the action, while Conadu and its La Plata affiliate Adulp have not adhered; CTERA says schools nationwide will not hold classes, with strong turnout expected in state schools and variable participation in private institutions.
