Today the Government made official the “Educational Vouchers” Program to help families who send their children to establishments at the initial, primary and secondary levels with a subsidy of 75% or more, and a fee that does not exceed $54,396.
The measure came into effect after Resolution 61/2024 was published in the Official Gazette . Attendance would reach 2,409,006 children who attend more than 6 thousand schools throughout the country, according to provisional data from the Ministry of Education.
Who can access educational vouchers?
The people who will be able to access state assistance will be those who have students up to 18 years of age under their parental responsibility. Likewise, it will be a requirement that the school has at least 75% state subsidy and that the family income does not exceed seven minimum, vital and mobile salaries. That is, the family that aspires to enroll in the program must have a monthly income that does not exceed $1,419,600.

How much are the educational vouchers announced by the Milei government?
Those family groups that are included in the list of beneficiaries may receive 50% of the value of the single-day rate, not including extra-programmatic activities, based on the base fee (March 2024) for May, June and July. The voucher will have a limit of $27,198 per child.How to sign up to access educational vouchers
Families who want to access the benefit must complete a form available at argentina.gob.ar, from April 3 to 30, where they must include the CBU where the money will be credited and inform the educational establishment.
The decision to move forward with "educational vouchers" was made by Milei to assist families who had school fee increases.
Educational vouchers, a campaign promise
The implementation of vouchers in the educational system had been one of Milei's campaign promises. The proposal involved moving from supply-side financing, through the support of schools and colleges, to demand-side financing. That is, from each student. However, the proposal had not been taken up at the beginning of the administration. Milei's announcement now means that there will be state subsidies for both supply and demand in the private education circuit.The thing is that education is always public, although it can be done through public or private institutions. And within the latter, some receive financial subsidies in different percentages. The majority of these latter entities are Catholic schools that provide initial, primary, secondary, tertiary and university levels.
The announcement was made by the Ministry of Human Capital, headed by Sandra Pettovello . “There will be vouchers and financing for students. “We are very close to announcing that,” Milei stated in mid-February. At that time, he added: “We are going to incorporate an assistance mechanism for the middle class so that children do not miss school, because the situation in which your income drops and you have to change the child's school is not only traumatizing. for the parents, but also for the kids.”

The educational question
The problem of educational financing is one of the issues that the libertarian administration is going through. Last month, the interruption of the sending of resources to the provinces that were part of the Teacher Incentive Fund , which was intended for the salaries of teachers throughout the country, was announced. At the same time, the national parity negotiation is bogged down because the current administration considers that salary policy is a non-delegable function of the provinces in which the National State should not intervene.Furthermore, in the draft “Bases and Starting Points Law for the Freedom of Argentines” - known as the “Omnibus Law” - a series of articles had been included that contemplated everything from the mandatory final exam for the completion of secondary school to the declaration of education as an “essential service”, therefore, uninterrupted by strikes and union demonstrations. Finally, those items fell by the wayside, but the La Libertad Avanza government anticipated that they will insist on these proposals again in the future.
