In Argentina, the National Social Security Administration (Anses) has announced that pensions for non-university teachers will increase by 5.28% starting in March. For those who retired after teaching at universities, the increase will be slightly lower at 4.26%. This adjustment aligns with the specific mobility rules governing these pensions, which differ from the general pension system. The increments will be based on salary indices specific to each educational sector rather than the monthly inflation rates reported by Indec.

According to the sources from the Labor Secretary, the adjustments are unique as they follow a quarterly update schedule, rather than the monthly updates typical of the general pension system. The new pension amounts will be applicable for the months of March and April, reflecting the ongoing effort to align teacher pensions with relevant salary indices in the education sector.

This decision underscores the government's recognition of the financial challenges faced by retired educators and the need to ensure that their pensions keep pace with wage developments within the sector. The rise in pension amounts for both non-university and university educators highlights the distinction in the qualification and remuneration structures across the educational landscape in Argentina.
