A national teachers' strike organized by the Confederación de Trabajadores de la Educación de la República Argentina (CTERA) has resulted in varying levels of participation across different Argentine provinces.

In early August, adherence rates were high in several regions, including Córdoba, Santa Fe, Tucumán, Jujuy, La Rioja, and Buenos Aires, where participation ranged from 70% to 99%. However, Salta reported a significantly lower turnout of only 10% to 12%, which officials attributed to local wage negotiations. In Santa Fe, government officials noted a record number of teachers who did not participate in the strike.

By late August, the situation in Entre Ríos evolved through specific union actions. The General Council of Education (CGE) reported an 80% teacher attendance rate during a protest day, noting that this level of presence exceeded previous industrial actions and allowed for the continuity of pedagogical activities. 

However, the Asociación Gremial del Magisterio de Entre Ríos (Agmer) reported that its 48-hour strike reached an 80% adherence rate, following an initial day of approximately 75% participation. The Agmer strike is driven by demands for salary increases to compensate for lost purchasing power. Union leaders criticized the provincial executive for unilaterally closing wage negotiations, stating that current income levels are leading to increased debt and excessive workloads. To conclude the action, a provincial march involving torches was scheduled to head toward the Government House to demonstrate collective dissatisfaction.
