The provincial government of Misiones, Argentina, is planning a significant increase in its education budget for 2027. Minister Ramiro Aranda announced a projected increase of approximately 53% to 54% to address the province’s growing responsibility for costs formerly covered by national funds.

This shift in fiscal responsibility includes the financing of school cafeterias, student transport, and infrastructure projects, such as the EPET 53 in Alberdi. The province is also managing the distribution of 600,000 books. The budget increase is necessitated by a decline in national funding for school feeding programs, which is expected to drop below 30%.
