Buenos Aires Expels Student After La Plata School Brawl That Injured Staff

Authorities moved from immediate sanctions to investigations to answer growing school safety demands.

Overview

  • The provincial education authority (DGCyE) removed the aggressor from the school, opened an internal probe and tasked the district to secure another placement for the student.
  • Video showed a violent patio fight at La Plata’s Normal 2 after an ex-student entered with a stick; a preceptora was cut on the forehead and received medical attention.
  • Students held a sit‑in and street protest, families demanded clearer protections, and SUTEBA requested structured reflection days and broader support for staff and pupils.
  • In Río Cuarto, Córdoba, a student who threw hot water on a preceptor at Colegio San Buenaventura was suspended for three days and reassigned, with the educator under psychological care.
  • In Banfield, a teacher at the private Bertrand Russell school was provisionally suspended after an audio of partisan insults surfaced, prompting intervention by the provincial Ministry of Capital Humano.
