A few days after the start of the school year, the government of Buenos Aires offered a 60% increase to teachers

The government of Buenos Aires met again this afternoon with the representatives of the teachers’ unions. During the meeting, he made a first offer which envisages a 60% increase in several tranches which are not yet defined. After two hours of negotiation, parity passed to the intermediate chamber.

The proposal reaches eleven days after the start of the school year In the city of Buenos Aires. Schools in Buenos Aires will resume classes on February 27, two days before the rest of the country. For this reason, the meeting which will take place next week and during which an agreement should be reached between the parties will be essential to ensure a conflict-free start.

Officials from the Ministry of Education and representatives of trade unions in Buenos Aires participated in today’s meeting: ADEF, ADEF, ADEMYS, ADIA, AEP, AMC, AMET, ASED, CAMYP, CENTRO PROF.DIPLOMADOS, COMMITMENT, EDUPEC, SEDEBA, SEDUCA, SUETRA, SUTECBA, UDA and UTE.

as he learned GlobeLiveMedia, in the percentage increase, there was some adhesion, but the differences appeared in the different sections of this increase. The unions intend to advance the highest quotas to the first months of the year. In any case, there is optimism that the deal will be sealed next time around.

Last year, there were nine tranches of increases which totaled an increase of 107.73%. “In this way, inflation for the same period in CABA was exceeded by 14 points, thus recovering the purchasing power of teachers,” they said from the educational portfolio.

The salaries were as follows: single-time teachers without seniority today receive 112,000 pesos in hand, while full-time teachers receive 224,000. On the other hand, the oldest teachers have a net salary of 136,000 pesos in single-time cases and 262,000 pesos in full-time cases. To this must be added 60% throughout the year.

So far, there has been no major progress in joint educational meetings. Last week, the first meeting between Education Minister Jaime Perczyk and national unions took place, but there has still been no salary proposal. In national parity, the minimum teacher salary for the whole country is consolidated, that is to say the floor for the provinces to negotiate.

On February 7, the first students returned to class. There were a total of 23,000 first-graders attending public schools in the city, who started the path of articulation from primary to secondary.

For the rest of the students in Buenos Aires, from kindergarten to high school, Classes will start on Monday, February 27. The calculations they make in the portfolio led by Soledad Acuña indicate 192 school days, twelve more than those required by law, although this number will have to be updated, for example, the days of unemployment of teachers who are felt mainly in public schools.
