Educational support and financing in Argentina

Overview

In Argentina, the government has implemented several measures to support students and educational access. Under Resolution 544/2026, the monthly amount for the Manuel Belgrano Scholarships—which supports approximately 36,000 students in strategic university fields like energy, mining, and biotechnology—was increased by 53%, rising from $122,527 to $187,495. This increase is retroactive to June 2026.

Administrative processes for various educational programs continue to evolve. The second call for Becas Progresar 2026 remains active, with application deadlines set for September 4 for mandatory education (Progresar Obligatorio), September 11 for higher education and nursing (Progresar Superior), and November 27 for professional training (Progresar Trabajo). Additionally, pre-enrollment for the Plan FinEs program for secondary school completion remains open until September 4.

Regional developments show ongoing efforts in teacher recruitment and institutional support. In Chaco, the Ministry of Education has opened registration for primary level teaching positions, including temporary and substitute roles for the 2026/27 period. This call covers grade teachers, special area teachers, and technical professionals in special, hospital, and home education across regions 1 to 10. Applicants may apply in person, via certified mail, or electronically through the Integrated Educational System (SIE). Furthermore, registration for school librarians for the 2027 cycle is open until October 15, with the option for applicants to complete the procedure electronically via the Tu Gobierno Digital platform.

Other regional activities include in Santiago del Estero, where a new protocol provides specialized psychopedagogical support to state schools; in San Juan, a cooperation agreement with Syotec to align technical training with industry; and in Córdoba, 1st-grade primary pre-enrollment for 2027, which remains open until September 21.
