Overview
- The provincial government confirmed that Alberto Sileoni is leaving the Dirección General de Cultura y Educación for personal reasons and he said he will continue supporting Governor Axel Kicillof from other roles.
- Kicillof will send Flavia Terigi’s nomination to the Buenos Aires Province legislature on Wednesday, November 26, initiating the formal confirmation process required for her appointment.
- Terigi is a pedagogue, rector of the National University of General Sarmiento since 2022, a UBA professor, and a member of the National Education Quality Council, and she has requested temporary leave from UNGS to take the post if approved.
- Sileoni, who has led the provincial education portfolio since December 2021, cited priorities such as curricular transformations, territorial presence, closer ties with schools, and infrastructure development during his tenure.
- His management also implemented a new secondary-school academic regime that accredits by subject instead of repeating the full year, a change that drew public debate alongside disputes over distributed reading materials.
