Families in Argentina protest school closures and fire damage

In El Jagüel, Esteban Echeverría, more than 120 families are protesting the announced closure of the Baden Powell School and the La Familia Conejola Kindergarten. The legal representative, Laura Proietti, cited progressive economic imbalances as the reason for the definitive closure scheduled for next year. Families have organized a protest to request assistance from Mayor Fernando Gray, expressing desperation over the lack of alternative educational options for their children.

In Loma Negra, the community of Kindergarten No. 905 is facing uncertainty following a fire that occurred during the early morning hours. Members of the cooperative, grandparents, and collaborators gathered at the site to express distress over material losses and the interruption of school activities. There is significant concern regarding the future of the student enrollment and the resources required to reconstruct the damaged building.
