On September 17, Argentina observed multiple professional milestones related to education and cognitive development. The country celebrated Teacher’s Day (Día del Profesor) to honor the legacy of José Manuel Estrada, a writer, politician, and educator who died on this date in 1894. Estrada, a former rector of the Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires, is recognized for his contributions to secondary and university teaching. His intellectual work in history and civic instruction remains central to the national identity of the teaching profession. Unlike the Teacher’s Day (Día del Maestro) observed on September 11, this date is not a public holiday, and educational activities typically proceed as scheduled. In regions such as San Pedro de Jujuy, local authorities have held ceremonial events and parades to mark the beginning of Teacher’s Week, emphasizing the vital role educators play in national development. Simultaneously, the nation marked Psychopedagogy Day, commemorating the 1982 foundation of the Argentine Federation of Psychopedagogy. In Jujuy, officials from the Professional College of Psychopedagogy held ceremonies to highlight the profession’s role in diagnosing and optimizing cognitive and socio-affective capacities across all life ~~stages, noting~~ stages. Federico Tolay, president of the Board of Directors, noted that while the profession has 46 years of history in the country, it has been present in Jujuy for five years following the 2021 establishment of the local college.
