Mendoza Reinstates Grade-by-Grade Evaluation in Primary School for 2026 Cohort

Officials say the shift supports the provincial literacy plan by setting clear benchmarks and recovery periods before any repetition.

Overview

  • The provincial education directorate implemented Resolution 2025-6970 to end the first–second grade 'unidad pedagógica' and return to individual yearly accreditation.
  • The change applies to students starting first grade in 2026, who must accredit basic language and mathematics skills by November 27.
  • A first recovery window runs through December 19, followed by a February–March intensification period beginning around February 10, with first-grade repetition allowed only if skills remain unaccredited.
  • Schools are required to provide sustained pedagogical support, targeted interventions, and early monitoring throughout the year.
  • Authorities link the reform to strengthened Initial Level practices and expanded three-year-old classrooms, and Subsecretary Claudia Ferrari describes Mendoza as among the early adopters after 2025 federal discussions.
