“We don’t know if they are going to take classes or what they do at the University”the official published on her social networks, while adding: “Of the total number of students registered in the system for 2022 (1,749,136), only 40.6% were regular students (710,466), 20% had 1 subject approved or less (367,299) and a striking 38.4% of students about whom there is no information (671,372)”.
The minister’s line of speech was the same one used by Torrendell, who said in statements to Radio Rivadavia: “About 38% of the students, we do not know if they are enrolled in a subject. Your registration is not informed because the universities have informed it. The funds are distributed according to these polynomials.” In this sense, the official highlighted the need to “invest all resources well in the educational system” considering that Argentina is a country “in which there are scarcity of resources and 60% of children in poverty“.
“All universities have a percentage of students whose average is 38% who we do not know if they are taking any subject. It is the effect of a long tradition of misinformation and opacity. We do first-class research and careers, but it turns out that we cannot count the students we have“he added.
In this regard, he elaborated: “Inventing students is a topic that is more or less 200 years oldbecause the multiplication of teaching positions has to do with that.
Universities: negotiation with unions resumes after the mobilization

University financing: the Government postpones the veto until after the mobilization
Despite the different measures of force announced by the public universities, which will converge on October 2 in a new march in defense of education, the Government insists that it will veto the University Financing Law sanctioned by Congress, which increases the budget granted to study houses. However, The ruling party is currently analyzing whether the measure is known after the mobilization.
