Overview
- Decree 787/2025, published on November 11 in the Boletín Oficial, repeals the 1993 rule that required prior notification and authorization for changes to tuition and enrollment fees.
- The change applies primarily to roughly 2,000 schools that do not receive state contributions, a small share of the private sector estimated at about 6% in some reports.
- Officials argue the old system distorted pricing, and say flexibility will allow gradual, cost-based adjustments instead of large upfront hikes at the start of the school year.
- Private-education groups such as AIEPA welcomed the measure, while parents’ associations and specialists warned about affordability risks and potential widening of inequalities.
- Several provinces, including Córdoba and Santa Fe, indicated little or no practical effect due to their own regulatory frameworks, and the decree also orders a review of the 1991 financing rules.
