Overview
- Córdoba created a 2,000 million pesos fund to keep technical schools operating in a system that includes 252 such schools across the province.
- The province says this funding is five times the roughly 400 million pesos it expects to receive from the national government for technical education.
- Officials link the shortfall to the end of a rule that guaranteed at least 0.2% of federal current revenue for technical education, which made transfers discretionary.
- Governor Martín Llaryora criticized President Javier Milei’s administration over the cuts, and Education Minister Horacio Ferreyra and the AMET union backed the provincial move.
- At the launch in San Francisco, the province also handed out 415 netbooks to local schools as part of a push to support classroom tools.
