In Argentina, authorities in Salta acknowledged that approximately 60 schools have assigned teachers but no enrolled students, a situation attributed to declining birth rates. Meanwhile, in Río Gallegos, the Provincial Council of Education completed the installation of new heating equipment, including boilers and radiators, to replace a deteriorating system at the Centro Polivalente de Arte N°1. In Colombia, the government issued Legislative Decree 1388 to adjust the academic calendar for over 5,000 educational sites across 47 territories. This measure responds to an earthquake that triggered a state of economic, social, and ecological emergency, affecting more than 1.1 million students. In Mexico, officials in Ciudad Victoria implemented a directive requiring schools to consult with the Regional Center for Educational Development before installing air conditioning. This policy aims to prevent electrical overloads in older buildings with aging wiring and transformers. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-17: School infrastructure updates reported in Argentina and Mexico Educational authorities in Argentina and Mexico are managing school infrastructure, focusing on heating upgrades in Río Gallegos and electrical safety regulations for air conditioning in Ciudad Victoria. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/school-infrastructure-updates-reported-in-argentina-and-mexico ### 2026-09-10: Educational adjustments reported in Argentina and Colombia Educational authorities in Salta, Argentina, report 60 schools with teachers but no students, while Colombia adjusts school calendars for over one million students due to earthquake-related emergencies. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/educational-adjustments-reported-in-argentina-and-colombia --- Cite as: Educational management and infrastructure in Latin America.
