In Formosa, union leader Nilda Patiño has denounced irregularities regarding the removal of a Fine Arts professor. The union alleges the professor was reassigned to remote duties at the Directorate of Higher Education without an administrative inquiry, suggesting the move may be linked to the professor’s strict evaluation criteria.

In Salta, Education Minister Cristina Fiore is reportedly facing imminent removal following controversies involving alleged corruption and a lack of ministerial oversight. Discussions regarding a successor, with Matías Cánepa as a potential candidate, are reportedly underway.
