CTERA-Led Teachers’ Strike Shuts Schools Nationwide Tuesday

Unions seek concrete moves on funding, FONID restitution, plus a revived national bargaining table.

Overview

  • CTERA confirmed a 24-hour national walkout for October 14 with public mobilizations, including a 10:00 gathering at Congress and actions at Palacio Pizzurno.
  • Buenos Aires Province’s FUDB bloc — SUTEBA, FEB, AMET, SADOP and UDOCBA — adheres, with organizers expecting strong participation in public schools and variable turnout in private institutions.
  • Core demands include restoring FONID, reopening the Paritaria Nacional Docente, passing a new educational financing law, boosting budgets for schools and infrastructure, and safeguarding teacher pensions.
  • University participation will be partial, with Conadu Histórica affiliates and local unions such as COAD at the National University of Rosario joining, affecting faculties and pre-university schools.
  • Responses vary by jurisdiction, as Santa Fe warns striking teachers will lose the Asistencia Perfecta bonus, while UDA pursues negotiations after talks with Human Capital Minister Sandra Pettovello.
