Kicillof announced the implementation of the Student Ticket for tercearies: how will it work?

In the run-up to a new anniversary of La Noche de los Lápices, Buenos Aires Governor Axel Kicillof announced the implementation of the Tertiary Ticket starting in October, which will reach 273,000 students in the province of Buenos Aires from private and state schools. “This September 16 will be a new anniversary of the Night of the Pencils that will find us with thousands of kids who, despite the time elapsed, are clear that it was those struggles that made today’s conquests possible and there is no better way to pay tribute to those who gave their lives for the rights of all than to expand the student ticket so that reach students at the tertiary level,” he announced. Kicillof made this announcement in the framework of the Meeting of the Youth of the Province, in the Municipal Microstadium of Pilar, together with the local mayor, Federico Achával; the Director General of Culture and Education, Alberto Sileoni; and the Ministers of Community Development, Andrés Larroque; In this context, the governor said that when he reviews Argentine history, he understands that “the rebellion is not in those who visit meetings of businessmen at the Hotel Llao Llao, but in those who confront powerful interests to transform and expand rights.” In these times we must ask ourselves where is the rebellion, “he stressed and warned that “behind those who shout on television often hide denialist speeches of the Dictatorship and people who are against public and free education.” For his part, D’Onofrio explained that students of terceary establishments can register “from October 1” through a website to have the benefit of the student ticket. This system will be like the one already implemented in Buenos Aires universities. “Every month they are charged 45 trips of the rate of the place where the student is, it depends on each locality because we apply it throughout the Province,” D’Onofrio said Tuesday in statements to Radio Provincia.
