The beginning of the school year in Argentina is facing challenges as the education ministers from all 24 jurisdictions have pledged to meet the legal requirement of 190 effective school days. This commitment is essential for maintaining educational continuity and improving education quality. However, each jurisdiction has the autonomy to set its own school calendar, leading to a lack of unification and potentially complicating students' and parents' planning for the school year.

In Buenos Aires, the local education ministry confirmed that classes will commence for initial and primary levels next Wednesday, while secondary education will start on March 2. Various provinces such as Neuquén, Santa Cruz, and Mendoza will follow the same starting date. In contrast, other regions like Santiago del Estero have already begun classes, while others like San Luis, Chubut, and Jujuy will start next Monday. This difference in start dates signifies the ongoing issue in education scheduling within the country.

Moreover, winter breaks have not been standardized, creating further confusion and heterogeneity among the education schedules. The scatter in school calendars poses challenges for families, as they must adapt to varying start and end dates for their children's education across different provinces, risking disruption of effective educational delivery overall. This situation highlights the broader implications for educational policy and administrative cohesion in Argentina.
