Following the meeting with officials of the Ministry of Education of the Nation, the five teaching guilds with national representation accepted the government’s offer. Thus, the minimum wage will reach 23,000 pesos in March and 25,000 in July. According to Télam reports, an extraordinary sum of 4,840 pesos was also agreed, to be paid in four installments of 1,210 pesos in April, May, June and July.
The announcement was confirmed at a press conference held this afternoon at the Sarmiento Palace by Education Minister Nicolas Trotta and his co-worker, Claudio Moroni.” Our government’s decision to convene the national teaching board is a stage of consensus,” said the Education headline, ensuring that they seek to “leave behind the encounters with teachers.” This first meeting is linked to the challenge facing Argentina in the progressive educational investment process,” he added. This agreement will officiate as a basis for the rest of the provincial negotiations.
